Tabula appeared on Friday at Buganda Road Court before Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayiizi, where he provided an extrajudicial statement admitting to orchestrating the murder of his clan head.

According to a reliable source, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the confession, the primary reason for Eng. Bbosa’s murder was a desire for revenge.

“Tabula claimed that Eng. Bbosa and his family were responsible for the murder of his father, Israel, in 1989. They also sold Ndiga clan land in Mbale, Mpigi, forcing his ancestors to relocate to Namulonge. He was attempting to secure ownership of the Namulonge land, but Eng. Bbosa opposed his efforts,” the source disclosed.

The source further revealed that Tabula’s confession lasted 4 hours and 58 minutes, during which he implicated his 21-year-old nephew, Noah Lujja, as an accomplice, while clearing four other suspects of involvement.

The four cleared suspects are Harriet Nakiguli, 40, Joseph Nakabale, 47, Ezra Mayanja, 44, and Milly Naluwenda, 46.

Tabula also claimed that the Buganda Kingdom’s Tradition Court clerk, Naluwenda, was only guilty of informing him of Eng. Bbosa’s death. Regarding the 17 skulls found at his shrine in Mpigi, he insisted they were obtained for ancestral rituals and denied killing anyone to acquire them.

Tabula is scheduled to appear at Mwanga II court on Monday for a hearing of the charges, with the court noting that investigations have been completed.

Preliminary police investigations indicated that Tabula collaborated with Ms. Naluwenda to hire the assassins who killed Eng. Bbosa on February 25 near his home in Kikandwa, Lungujja Parish, Rubaga Division, Kampala.

The prosecution alleges that on February 25, 2024, at Kikandwa-Lungujja village in Rubaga Division, Kampala District, Tabula and others, with malice aforethought, unlawfully caused the death of Eng. Daniel Kakeedo Bbosa.

Eng. Bbosa was shot dead on the evening of February 25, 2024, by gunmen on a motorcycle as he approached his residence in Lungujja, Rubaga Division. The assassins were chased by a group of Boda Boda riders led by Abdul Katabaazi, resulting in the death of one assassin and the apprehension of another, Noah Lujja, despite the assailants drawing guns on them.

KAMPALA. The High Court has handed down an eight-year prison sentence to four individuals for conspiring to assassinate former Inspector General of Police Edward Kale Kayihura and Namayingo district police commander Maj Francis Okumu.

Sadam Okuku Umalu, Colline Osinya, Joseph Ojambo, and Abudala Lwanga were convicted on Friday by Justice Dr. Andrew Bashaija, as part of a plea deal brokered between the suspects and Chief State Attorney Joseph Kyomuhendo.

According to court proceedings, between May and June 2016, the convicts stole two AK-47 rifles along with 60 rounds of live ammunition from Nakudi police post in Namayingo district.

Following a reported gunshot at a residence in Sirowa Village, Namayingo, the police launched an operation resulting in the arrest of Okuku and his associates.

During interrogation, they admitted to stealing the firearms for robbery purposes and to eliminate individuals deemed as obstacles to the Tabliq sect’s mission, which included Kayihura, Okumu, and the Resident District Commissioner (RDC). They also confessed to a prior gun theft from a police officer in 2015, subsequently using it in multiple robbery attempts.

The judge upheld their plea deal, imposing an eight-year sentence for each offense to be served concurrently.

High court, Isaac Muwata found Kasolo guilty of committing six offenses. Kasolo who opted to defend himself when asked to speak, said that he didn’t agree with the decisions of the court saying that he is to file an appeal. Johnson Lubega another suspect among the five was also sentenced to life imprisonment.

The judge said Lubega directly participated in the kidnap, murder, and robbing of Nagirinya and Kitayimbwa. The other suspect Isaac Ssenabulya pleaded guilty and was sentenced. The judge found the duo guilty of each of the six counts. They are to serve each of the sentences concurrently.

He ruled that Hassan Kisekka, Nasif Kalyango, and Sharif Mpanga only facilitated the commission of the offenses and later took the proceeds for the crimes. He also noted that there is no clear reason explanation for why accused persons committed the alleged offenses except for the motivation to get money.

Muwata also said that the murder of the victims was gruesome and terrible and that no amount of punishment would compensate for the lives of the deceased persons. He said there is a need to punish such senseless criminals and deter others from committing similar offenses.

According to justice Muwata, Kasolo, and Lubega were not remorseful throughout the trial especially Kasolo who kept disrupting the court proceedings. When reading his judgment, he noted that Hassan Kisekka, Nasif Kalyango Sharif Mpanga, and Sadat Kateregga were remorseful and were first-time offenders and that they were not actively involved in the committing the offenses of kidnap, aggravated robbery, and murder.

He said that he gave them a chance to reform by being lenient to them and he accordingly sentenced Hassa Kisekka, Nasif Kalyango, and Sharif Mpanga to 30 years of imprisonment on each of the counts and deducted the period they spent on remand. One of the accused Sadat Kateregga was acquitted of the charges. The judge said there was no sufficient evidence pinning him on the charges.

Justice Muwata also said that throughout the entire trial in this case, Kateregga’s name was only mentioned in the charge and caution statement made by Kasolo. He added that among the over 10 witnesses brought by the prosecution, no witness pinned him on the cases he was accused.

Before the judgment was pronounced, the prosecution side led by Jonathan Muwaganya and Timothy Ameriti asked the court to give a death sentence to the accused. Amerit argued that each of the counts of the offenses carries a maximum sentence and he acknowledged the constitution under article 22 close which states that one person shall be deprived of life intentionally accepted in the execution of a sentence passed by a fair trial court of competent jurisdiction in respect of a criminal offense.

Ameriti also told the court that the circumstances of the case fall within the rearrest of the rear cases which must be considered by a maximum sentence to deter other offenders. Amerit also told the court to consider that Kasolo has been a habitual offender and Lubega was the leader of a criminal gang B13 at Mabiito zone in Nateete.

Julius Sserwambala who was representing Johnson Lubega told the court that Lubega should be given a minimum sentence because he was a first-time offender and that the case is not the rearrest of the rear cases as stated by his counterpart. During the reading of the judgment, security was beefed up by the prison service, and several prison guards were deployed outside court and inside which was not the case during the trial sessions of his case.

The court was filled up by friends and relatives of the victims to the maximum and others were forced to stand outside others inside to observe the proceedings of court. The late Nagirinya was murdered together with his driver, Ronald Kitayimbwa on August 28, 2019, following their kidnap in Lungujja.

Nagirinya was entering her home when she was kidnapped and killed and their bodies were dumped in Mukono along Kayunga road.
