The Internal Security Oraganisation and the police are entangled in a conflict of the arrest of suspects believed to have been terrorizing boda boda cyclists before stealing their bikes.
This comes after ISO accused police of shielding the killers of boda boda riders including parading fake suspects.
The ISO Director General Col Kaka Bagyenda is quoted by ugandanz.com, an online news site saying that John Bosco Mugisha’s claims that Young Mulo aka Alloysious Tamale was his accomplice were false. ISO claims Mugisha’s accomplice is Moses Wakko from Nansana in Wakiso.
According to ISO, Wakko was arrested and later released about a week ago.
It is said that Wakko, upon his arrest, contacted a businessman identified as Adriko who had been buying the stolen motorcycles from the killers’ victims to save him.
Adriko is then reported to have sent sh1.8m to Wakko’s mobile money number which the suspect used to bribe one of the officers at Ndeeba Police before he was released.
The ISO boss is also quoted as having told the online news portal they also learned that the Police officer who took the money had asked Wakko to get him other people within the racket to be arrested and cover up for him (Wakko), after the Rubaga incident.
Meanwhile, Wakko was arrested with the aid of Muleefu (crime preventer)
who surrendered to ISO; on hearing that he was being hunted. ISO operatives are reported to have found Wakko near Kaso Hotel in Ndeeba on Monday and used his number to track down Adriko.
However, Police disputes ISO claims that Wakko is the second killer in the footage of the gruesome murder of a bodaboda rider in Rubaga.
Investigators at the Police Flying Squad say they zeroed down and arrested Alloysious Tamale aka Patrick Sekyewa, 24, who they believe is the one.
