Former Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) spokesperson, Charles Twiine, is once again facing tough times after being denied bail for the second time. Twiine appeared before Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayizzi, hoping to be released temporarily, but his request for bail was turned down. This means that he will remain in Luzira Prison at least until June 17, when he is expected to return to court.
Twiine, once a familiar face in police press briefings, now finds himself on the other side of the justice system. The reason for his arrest and continued detention has drawn public interest, though court proceedings are still ongoing. Despite his legal team’s efforts to secure his release, the magistrate ruled against him, citing reasons that were not made public at this stage.
The courtroom atmosphere was tense as Twiine stood in the dock, dressed in prison attire. Friends, family, and former colleagues were present, visibly anxious about the outcome. Many had hoped the court would grant him bail, but their expectations were met with disappointment. As the Chief Magistrate gave his decision, Twiine remained calm, showing little emotion.
His continued detention has raised many questions, especially considering his previous role in law enforcement. Some observers believe that his position as a former senior police official makes the case even more sensitive. For now, all eyes remain on the next court date June 17 when more details might emerge and another decision on his bail could be made.
As the days go by, Charles Twiine remains locked away in Luzira Prison, waiting for justice and hoping for freedom. His case continues to unfold, drawing attention from both the public and the media.
