A man known for consistently defrauding members of the public by selling non-existent land to them has finally been arrested, paraded before court and remanded.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, Lutwaama Isaac Magandaazi, a renowned land grabber was today, Friday, 27th March, 2026 charged at the Mityana Chief Magistrate’s Court with obtaining money by false pretences. He has been remanded until April 9, 2026.
State House Anti-Corruption Unit says Lutwama between March and August 2020, at Nawanga, Zigoti Town Council in Mityana District, falsely claimed he was selling land located at Block 24, Plot 53, which he did not own.
He fraudulently obtained Shs37 million from a victim (not named) by pretending to sell this non-existent property.
Investigations revealed that Lutwaama misled the victim into believing he was the legitimate owner of the land, yet it had a rightful owner.
The victim subsequently reported the incident to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, leading to Lutwaama’s arrest. He later confessed to obtaining millions of shillings from the complainant.
Further investigations have uncovered that Lutwaama has multiple similar cases in both Mityana and Wakiso.
“The public is urged to come forward if they have been defrauded or if their land has been unlawfully taken by him,” urges the State House Anti-Corruption Unit.
