A 27 year old man who says he comes from Bukedea district is one of the three men arrested over the weekend for allegedly robbing residents using machetes.
Alex Okello was arrested together with Issa Kalulu and Mathias Nsamba by UPDF officers from First Division Kakikiri barracks at Bulabakulu village, Mende Sub County, Wakiso district.
According to a video released by Col. Deo Akiiki, the UPDF Deputy Spokesperson, Okello is heard admitting to various allegations of robbery in fluent English.
Meanwhile, his co-accused, Mathias Nsamba denies being a thief and says Okello whom he has known for slightly over a week, told him he was a UPDF officer and was on leave.
Major Charles Kaboona, the First Division Kakikiri barracks Spokesperson told the media that the trio have been using army Uniforms to terrorize residents around Wakiso district adding that within a very short time over nine bodies have been discovered in the area.
