7pm. Men dressed in civilian clothes ask journalists to identify themselves by displaying their identity cards. Some journalists try to resist but the men threaten to beat them up. Fearing to be hurt by the visibly charged men, journalists yield.

A few minutes to 8pm. A police patrol vehicle arrives at the station. Minutes later, Ms Jacqueline Mbabazi, also arrives in a convoy of two vehicles. At this moment, Kampala metropolitan police commander Haruna Isabirye, police spokesman Fred Enanga and his junior Patrick Onyango, are seen milling around Kiira Road Police Station.

8.5pm. Security lights are switched off. In response, curious waiting journalists switch on their camera flash lights to capture the moment.

8.15pm. Mr Mbabazi is released. He comes out of the police station led by a police vehicle. Youth swarm his vehicle and lie on the road, singing the national anthem, chorused with chants of "we have decided to follow Mbabazi," taken from a popular Christian hymn and the name Jesus replaced with Mbabazi.

These chants rub police the wrong way and they promptly charge at the small crowd, clobbering whoever they come across. Journalists and the youth scamper for their lives. 
In the ensuing melee, police arrest some youth and beat them up. Boda boda riders exploit the situation to their financial advantage in evacuating journalists and youths to safety.

9.15pm. Mr Mbabazi speaks to the inquisitive youths at his home in Kololo as they chant his name and relay songs mocking the NRM government.
