"All this while, Interpol has been monitoring his movement until 12.09.2023, when he was arrested. He will be delivered to Interpol Uganda, and handed over to the High Court in Mukono, in liaison with the ODPP and CID at Kampala Metropolitan Police Headquarters," Fred Enanga the police spokesperson said.
Enanga commended Interpol Kenya and Uganda, who worked tirelessly to track down and arrest the wanted fugitive. "The arrest highlights the excellent relationship between Uganda and the Kenyan Law Enforcement and Legal Agencies. It further demonstrates the continued value of the bilateral mutual agreements, between Uganda and Kenya, in bringing people to account for their alleged criminal actions," the police mouthpiece emphasised.
