The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU) in collaboration with the Police, has arrested five individuals in connection with the unlawful eviction of a Catholic priest from disputed land in Ntinzi Village, located in the Nkozi sub-county of Mpigi district.
The arrests were carried out on 15th February, 2026 according to a statement issued by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit on Monday, 16th February, 2026.
The suspects have been identified as Godfrey Sande, Daniel Kyebale (Manager), Eric Lukyamuzi, Geoffrey Magawuli and Paul Odida who claims to be the rightful owner of the titled land.
The statement says that Odida who claims ownership of 100 acres of land directed the four to forcibly occupy the contested five acres of land which is currently in dispute with Rev Father Bwanika Edward, a Kibanja holder.
During the forcible occupation they destroyed the Father’s plantations of coffee and bananas and yet the Rev Father has been a longstanding tenant of the land.
They face charges of forcible entry and malicious damage to property.
