Court heard that between October 2022 and September 2024, the accused conspired with Kaliisa David, a driver of Prof. George Kanyeihamba to fraudulently steal and transfer a total of over USD 56,500 (UGX 202 million) using cheques that were stolen from him.
It’s alleged that the duo then transferred the stolen money to the account of Loi advocates where Obam is the sole signatory.
The court remanded Obam to Luzira Prison until July 14, 2025, when he will enter his plea.
