A day later, police intercepted a group of jubilant Arsenal fans who were driving in a convoy of about five vehicles through Jinja.
While Police have not commented on the arrest, a member of the group has done so.
Baker Kasule told Daily Monitor that a police patrol vehicle pulled in front of them and asked each one of them to disembark and climb the patrol car which was destined for Jinja Police Station.
‘I don’t know what we have done but we were simply celebrating our victory over rivals Manchester United,’ Mr Kasule said.
He then added that ‘they are 20 supporters in total, all from Jinja City.’
