A Police Officer attached to Nsangi Police Station has been arrested and subsequently charged with destroying evidence and conspiracy to obstruct the course of justice.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit that investigated the case, Detective Sergeant Ngabirano Protasi conspired with others to frame a one Richard Sewanonda in a case of aggravated robbery. The purpose was to send Sewanonda to prison such that they have leeway to sell off his land.
Detective Sergeant Ngabirano Protasi was arraigned before Chief Magistrate’s Court in Makindye today, Friday, 30th May, 2025 and was remanded to prison.
The charges stem from an incident in January 2025 in which Sgt. Ngabirano, together with others still at large, allegedly conspired to falsely implicate a one Richard Sewanonda in a case of aggravated robbery.
It is alleged that the accused deliberately removed a key witness statement from an official police file at Katwe Police Station in Makindye Division, Kampala District and substituted it with a statement implicating Sewanonda.
D/sgt Ngabirano was dealing with other parties that intended to dispose of Sewanonda’s contested land while he is in prison.
