A Ugandan prison warder who had been on the run for weeks after a deadly incident at Kiboga Central Prison has finally been arrested. The suspect, identified as Moses Anguyo, was captured in the Democratic Republic of Congo, bringing an end to a tense manhunt that had drawn attention across borders. Authorities confirmed that his arrest was made possible through a joint operation, showing strong cooperation between security teams from Uganda and DR Congo.
The case began when Anguyo was accused of killing four people at Kiboga Central Prison. The shocking nature of the incident raised serious concerns about safety within the prison system and led to an urgent search for the suspect. After the incident, he reportedly fled the country, making it difficult for Ugandan authorities to track him down immediately. His escape added pressure on law enforcement agencies to act quickly and prevent him from disappearing completely.
Weeks later, the breakthrough came when intelligence reports suggested that Anguyo had crossed into DR Congo. Security forces from both countries worked together, sharing information and coordinating efforts. This teamwork eventually led to his arrest in Aru, a town near the border. Officials praised the joint operation, saying it showed how regional cooperation can help fight crime and bring suspects to justice.
The arrest has brought some relief to the victims’ families and the wider community, who had been waiting for answers. Many people are now looking forward to seeing justice served through a fair legal process. Authorities have assured the public that Anguyo will face the law and that investigations into the incident will continue to uncover the full truth.
This case highlights not only the seriousness of crimes committed by those in positions of authority but also the importance of strong cross-border collaboration. It sends a clear message that even if suspects try to escape justice by fleeing to another country, they can still be found and held accountable.
