Bomb Squad Detonates Russian Grenade At Alien Skin’s Construction Site In Makidye

A major security scare unfolded in Kampala’s Makindye Division on Monday afternoon when a Russian-made hand grenade was unearthed at a construction site owned by popular musician Alien Skin, real name Mulwana Patrick.

The explosive device was discovered at around 3:30 p.m. by construction workers digging a foundation at the singer’s property in Nakinyogozi, Makindye. Upon notification, Alien Skin reportedly retrieved the item and contacted the Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP).

“Our team responded immediately and found the suspect holding the grenade. He was instructed to put it down to avoid triggering detonation. The area was sealed off to safeguard residents,” said KMP spokesperson SSP Patrick Onyango.

A bomb disposal unit was deployed to the site, where experts safely neutralized the explosive in a controlled detonation. Forensic analysis later confirmed the grenade to be of Russian origin, possibly a remnant of Uganda’s past armed conflicts or an illegally discarded weapon.

There were no injuries or damage reported, thanks to the quick response by both the homeowner and security personnel.

Authorities praised Alien Skin for his calm reaction and cooperation during the high-risk incident. “We commend him for promptly alerting us. It’s a reminder that such discoveries should only be handled by trained personnel,” SSP Onyango emphasized.

The police urged residents to be cautious, especially as urban development continues in former conflict zones. “Unexploded ordnance remains a threat. Do not pick up or move any suspicious items contact the police immediately,” Onyango warned.

Speaking after the incident, Alien Skin thanked law enforcement and appealed to fellow citizens to be vigilant. “This could have ended badly. I’m grateful for the police’s professionalism. Let’s all be careful and protect our communities,” he said.

The discovery has reignited discussions around leftover wartime munitions in civilian areas and the importance of routine safety inspections during construction projects.
