SHACU Targets Fraudulent Land Titles
The Anti-Corruption Division of the High Court, working alongside the Criminal Investigations Directorate and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, brought Jjingo Denis before the Luweero Chief Magistrate’s Court.
He faces formal charges of fraudulently procuring a land title and unlawfully interfering with a deceased person’s estate. The court ordered him remanded in custody until September 1, 2026.
Investigators state that the case stems from events between 2003 and 2004 in Kakira Kibanga, Luweero District. Court documents allege that Jjingo lacked lawful authorization from the Administrator General or any other legal representative when he allegedly involved himself in the estate of the late Isaya Basenge.
At the center of the dispute is roughly 100 acres of land located on Bulemezi Block 554, Plot 7. Prosecutors claim Jjingo falsely presented himself as the estate’s administrator. Working with accomplices who remain at large, he allegedly obtained a fraudulent Certificate of Title for the property.
Furthermore, authorities allege that Jjingo and his associates sold portions of this disputed land to third parties. These buyers have reportedly begun forcing current occupants off the property and destroying their belongings, prompting urgent intervention by law enforcement and anti-graft agencies.
