The police in Kabalagala have arrested a man identified as Ssetuba Derrick over allegations of obtaining money by false pretenses. According to police reports, Ssetuba is accused of defrauding Namara Omuhereza of UGX 8 million. Contrary to rumors circulating on social media suggesting that he was abducted, the Kampala Metropolitan Police have clarified that his arrest was lawful and that he is currently detained at Kabalagala Police Station.
Following his arrest, the case has taken a new twist as two more victims have stepped forward, claiming that they were also defrauded by Ssetuba. This has raised concerns that more people could have fallen prey to the same scheme. The police say they are carrying out thorough investigations into all the allegations. Once completed, the case file will be sent to the Office of the Resident State Attorney for review and legal guidance.
Police have assured the public that the matter will be handled with diligence and fairness, and they have promised to provide further updates as more information becomes available. The arrest has sparked a conversation online, with many warning others to be cautious when dealing with strangers in financial matters.
