The Uganda Police has revealed that all six laptops that were recently stolen from the Bank of Uganda head offices along Kampala Road in Kampala City on 3rd May.
According to the Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy PRO Luke Owoyesigyire, following the earlier arrest of two suspects and the recovery of two of the stolen laptops, police conducted rigorous investigations which led to the arrest of two additional suspects, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to four.
“The additional arrests also led to the recovery of four more laptop computers. All six stolen laptops have now been recovered and are being held as exhibits” he said.
The suspects have been identified as Kule Boaz Micheal, Kabuya Ramathan alias Rama, Lubangakene Isaac Izoo, and Oedo Jorem Jude.
Owoyesigyire noted that the suspects are expected to be arraigned before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s Court today, upon completion of the necessary processes.
“They will face charges of office breaking, theft, receiving stolen property, and retaining stolen property” he said.
Recently, the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s court presided over by Grade one magistrate Rophine Achayo, charged and remanded eight police officers with one count of neglect to prevent a felony in the recent robbery of laptops from the Bank of Uganda head offices in Kampala City.
The accused include Sgt Joseph Amone, Police Constable (PC) Wilson Ouma, PC Thomas Omach, PC Shafic Mungusho, and PC Brian Oryono, all attached to the Directorate of Counter Terrorism Tactical Unit and residents of Naguru police barracks in Nakawa.
Others are Alex Onduri and Solomon Orache, both security guards employed by Ultimate Security Limited as well as Morish Ocen, a security guard attached to Saracen Uganda Limited.
Rt Hon AAA,
Holding you in prayer that you find inner peace and the strength to stay grounded through all the judgment, criticism, provocation, and even the praise. May you remain steady until the storm passes.
