The Uganda People\u2019s Defense Forces (UPDF) is questioning a man who was arrested from the home of assassinated Assistant Superintendent of Police Muhammad Kirumira.
\nThe suspect was arrested on Monday night as he attempted to flee after Kirumira\u2019s family members became suspicious and asked to know his details, because he kept close tabs on them yet he was a stranger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He did not have any identification documents apart from a police bond letter, showing that he was released from Kisenyi Police Post on undisclosed crime. The bond document had only one name– Kateete.
\nThe deceased\u2019s brother, Mr Mahad Mugenyi Asooka, said Kateete has no connection with their family but since the murder of Kirumira, he has actively participated in various tasks at home.
\nMr Asooka said some family members said Kateete alleged to have been sent from State House to help the bereaved family.
\n\u201cPersonally, he told me he was a UPDF officer at the rank of Major and had been sent by a General to help in investigations,\u201d Mr Asooka said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt may not be by coincidence that at the time of arrest, Kateete was wearing the same jacket as the unidentified boda boda man who offered me a free ride to Lubaga and Mulago hospital and back home. Security operatives should thoroughly interrogate him,\u201d Mr Asooka said.
\nHe also claimed that on searching Kateete\u2019s mobile phone, several telephone numbers of Kirumira\u2019s family members and police officers were found.
\nThe Gogonya LCI chairperson, Ms Sarah Kalule, yesterday confirmed the incident, saying; \u201cHe was taken by military but I do not know where he has been detained.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Defence spokesperson, Brig Richard Karemire, did not answer our repeated calls.
\nThe deputy police spokesperson, Mr Patrick Onyango, referred us to Mr Emilian Kayima, his boss.
\nBut Mr Kayima also promised to give an update later.
\n\u201cHold your breath. If true we shall communicate accordingly,\u201d Mr Kayima said by telephone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

UPDF takes over<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile the UPDF have taken over the security at Kirumira\u2019s home and restricted visits to the home in Gogonya zone-Bulenga in Wakiso District. A tent has been raised at one entrance of the perimeter wall of and one gate locked. Visitors yesterday had to provide satisfactory reasons on their purpose of visit before being allowed in while photographs have been barred.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
