Sobi Killed in a Land Grabbing Conflict; Police

Uganda Police Force has issued a statement on the sudden murder of the self proclaimed criminal gang leader of Kifeesi, Sobi.

According to investigations, it's alleged that on Monday the 18/12/023 at around 12:30pm at the land belonging to one Kalisa of Kibaale LCI Kigumba parish Maddu Sub County Gomba district, a group of around 50 people armed with sticks, pangas, spears attacked another group of people who claimed the same land belongs to them and ended up killing one known as Sobi.

The land in question was bought by Kalisa from a munyarwanda at about 100m and paid only 20 m in 2007 but it's claimed that he bought from a wrong person.

Another group of people who claimed to be the children and grandchildren of the now late Kibi Paul led by Deborah Nagadiya and Kiwewa Barton emerged with land titles claiming the same land belongs to them.

They went up to court and before it was sorted, the second group also brought other thugs from Kampala Kisenyi to stay in that land as they cleared the unwanted glass.

According to a report from a one 
Kiwewa Barton, "That last night, Kalisa's people hired their people from other areas and they met at his son's houses; ie Rwabazingu, Nyangabo Fred and Rwakana where all the plans to attack the other group were discussed from."

Kiwewa said that several belongings that included the food, eating utensils, structures and others were destroyed.

The same group is alleged to have killed more others though only one body has been recovered with cut wounds on leg and neck.

Upon receiving this information, the DPC Gomba responded to the scene with the team that included; OC stations Gomba and Maddu, D/OC CID, Socco, CI, other uniformed personels from Gomba, Maddu and Kigezi police.

Police says preparations are under way to transfer the body of the deceased to the hospital for postmortem.
