Two suspects have been charged at court for allegedly forging a land sale agreement with a person who had died two years back and proceeding to sell it.
The duo; Kamukama David and Nuwagira George appeared before the Kiryadongo Chief Magistrate’s Court today, Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
They were charged with forgery, uttering a false document, conspiracy to commit a felony, and intermeddling with the estate of the deceased.
The accused have been remanded until 20th February, 2026.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit that carried out the investigations and arrests, the duo together with another suspect still at large, fraudulently made a false land sales agreement dated 15th February 2002, allegedly signed by the late Kabiyanja Joy, claiming she had sold them approximately 100 acres of land located at Kamusenene Village, Kiryadongo District.
Kabiyanja Joy passed away in the year 2000, thereby disproving the accused persons’ claims that she sold the land to them in 2002, two years after her death.
Further findings revealed that the accused knowingly uttered the fraudulent document to authorities and proceeded to sell portions of the land to third parties, despite being aware that the land did not belong to them.
The land lawfully belongs to the estate of the late Kabiyanja Joy and her children, who hold letters of administration.
