The accused officers are Detective Superintendent James Besigye Kiguuya, Detective Corporals Simon Owona, Pracid Mulangira, and Officer Monday Tibaijuka.

According to prosecutors, the officers allegedly stole one kilogram of gold worth $105,000 and $1,000 in cash from businessman John Vian Tumukunde on May 9, 2025, at Solent Avenue in Nakawa Division.

The suspects reportedly used firearms and other deadly weapons during the robbery, and the prosecution claims they had planned the crime in advance.

On Tuesday, the case was mentioned before Grade One Magistrate Frank Namanya, who remanded the officers until July 16, 2025, to allow for further investigations.

Prosecution led by Martin Odong Awiny requested an extension due to the magistrate’s absence and the need for additional investigations.

The matter, being capital in nature, will be transferred to the High Court. The four officers face charges of aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit a felony.

The suspects appeared in court covering their faces with masks, huts and hoodies.

Kasenge Martin, also known as Tumusiime Denis, a businessman, and Kaweesa Ronald, a painter, face charges of electronic fraud, obtaining money by false pretence, and conspiracy to commit a felony.

The accused are linked to a broader case involving the alleged defrauding of UGX 2.2 billion from American company KG Unlimited LLC.

They join other suspects, including Kampala District Land Board Chairperson Balondemu David, Mkwe Eric, and Ibona Joseph, who were previously charged in connection with the same scheme.

Investigations reveal that between November 2022 and April 2023, the suspects allegedly deceived investors by falsely claiming to award them a contract for the procurement and supply of a water plant under the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries.

The funds were reportedly received by Kaweesa Ronald through M/s Bloom Advocates, acting on behalf of the accused.

The court has remanded the suspects until February 26, 2025, as investigations continue.

In response, Balondemu has pivoted his legal strategy by filing a civil lawsuit against the Attorney General and a Korean investor, seeking a hefty compensation of 20 billion Ugandan shillings. This move comes after previous criminal charges against him were dismissed by the courts as being malicious.

Documents from the civil court, overseen by deputy registrar Simon Kintu Zirintuusa, reveal that the defendants have a limited time frame of 15 days to present their defense against these legal actions.

As Balondemu gears up for legal confrontation with both the government and the investor, security agencies have swiftly moved to reinstate the dropped charges by securing fresh court summonses.

The State House Anti-Corruption Unit stressed the presence of compelling evidence as the driving force behind this legal revival, despite earlier setbacks.

Earlier this year, Balondemu and others were implicated in fraudulent activities involving substantial sums of money, allegedly obtained from various sources, including Hyun UK Kim. However, legal cases against them at City Hall and Buganda Road courts collapsed due to insufficiencies in evidence.

Furthermore, Balondemu faces additional allegations linked to fraud, including a case where an American company was reportedly swindled of Ugx 2.2 billion in a procurement scam related to a water plant project under the Ministry of Agriculture. This intricate web of accusations underscores the complexity of Balondemu’s legal entanglements.
