President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has upped ante on clamping down on criminality in Uganda Police Force. The surprise move has seen several “rogue cops” arrested and are currently detained in Mbuya at the base of Cheftainancy of military Intelligence (CMI) a security agency that is running this operation.
Among those arrested include; Joel Aguma who heads the Police’s Professional Standards Unit and Nickson Agasirwe, Abel Tumukunde and Faisal Katende.
This website understands that Museveni also ordered that ACP Jonathan Baroza a former Personal Assistant (PA) of Police Inspector Gen Kale Kayihura be arrested.
After the assassination of AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi, Kayihura deployed Boraza in Algeria as Liaison for Uganda Security CCTV Project, this was perceived as a tactical move by Kayihura to save his blue eyed boy from facing justice.
While still in office, Baroza’s driver Bwire was arrested on Kaweesi’s crime of scene in Kulambiro a Kampala surbub while picking soil and blood samples.
But he (Baroza) ordered for his immediate release, this left officials in the establishment questioning the motive of picking these samples which could have been “killing evidence.”
Police authorities concluded that Baroza could have knowledge in the execution of Kaweesi.
A source told this website that CMI operatives at a rank of a Captain and Major left for Algeria on Wednesday afternoon a board Egyptian airlines.
Source added noted that the operatives whose names have been established were on instructions to pick Baroza who is in Algeria as Liaison for Uganda Security CCTV Project and bring him back to Kampala and face justice.
“The once very powerful Kayihura’s Aide Assistant Commissioner of police Jonathan Baroza is wanted on cases including the brutal murder of Assistant Inspector General of police Andrew Felix Kaweesi in Kulambiro on March 17 and illegal extradition of Rwandan national fleeing political persecution back home,” a source said.
ACP Baroza in April quietly sneaked out of the country and escorted to the airport where he was ushered in the VIP section and waited until other passengers had boarded the plane. His family would later find him in Algiers where they are staying as diplomats courtesy of
Uganda police.
