Oyam—21, December 2021: Uganda’s security team continues to quell both internal and external criminal threats posed by wrongdoers.
In recent months, police and sister security agencies completed some major breakthroughs by halting criminal plans which would cause destruction to property and loss of lives.
The forces’ alertness became heightened after the Komaboga bomb blast on October 23, outside Kampala, in which one person died.
Another blast would later take place in a bus heading towards Western Uganda from Kampala. In that incident, one terrorist blew himself off.
Speaking to media in October, CP Fred Enanga, Spokesperson of the Uganda Police Force said the attacks were “an act of domestic terror”. Read more here.
In October this year, Police’s Directorate of Crime Intelligence, assisted by territorial Police in Kayunga district, arrested nine [9] suspects linked to several crimes of aggravated robbery, attempted murder and related conspiracies.
They were operating in Namakandwa village, Kangulumira sub-county in Kayunga district.
“The criminal gang has been enticing unsuspecting customers with fake land deals and other fraudulent transactions,” Police said then.
