Police Arrests Three Suspects Behind Attacks and Robberies on the Home of Hon Mubarak Munyagwa.

Detectives from Kampala Metropolitan South territorial Police, have apprehended three suspects linked to the raid at Honourable Mubarak Munyangwa's residence in Kimbeja cell, where security guard Benjamin Mpaka was injured on January 3, 2024, in Budo ward, Kyengera.

The suspects have been identified as; Igga Meddy, Safari Allan, and Kwizera Mansur. They are also linked to the Aggravated Robbery and Attempted Murder incidents that transpired on December 29, 2023, involving victims Musoke Collins, Ssebufu Kenneth, Namutebi Winnie, Kalanzi Juma, Emuroni Michael, and Male Shaffic in Kyengera Town Council.

During both incidents, victims sustained injuries, and valuable items, including a 65-inch television, approximately 2 million in cash, and 10 phones, were stolen. Moreover, a vehicle (Mark X - UBB043A) was vandalized at one of the targeted homes.

"Following thorough investigations, it was revealed that stolen phones, some containing mobile money, were traced to unauthorized transactions. The tireless efforts of the police resulted in the successful arrest of the trio on January 16, 2024, with the suspects found in possession of breaking implements believed to have been used in the commission of the crimes," ASP Luke Owoyesigyire Deputy Public Relations Officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police said.

Crucially, telephone lines associated with the illicit transfer of money during the robbery incidents were recovered, serving as vital exhibits for the prosecution of the suspects. Operating within a larger group of 6-8 members, the arrested individuals primarily targeted the areas of Budo, Kimbeja, and Kyengera town council.

Currently, security agencies are actively pursuing other members of the group who remain at large. The public's vigilance in providing information against criminal elements is commended, and the dedicated task teams are applauded for the successful arrest of the suspects.

"The arrested individuals, Igga Meddy, Safari Allan, and Kwizera Mansur, now face charges of Aggravated Robbery and Attempted Murder. Further details will be provided as the investigation unfolds," Owoyesigyire added.
