Kwania police are holding a woman for masquerading as a captain from the Uganda People's Defense Forces-UPDF from Gadafi barracks. 



The suspect, Tracy Byaruhanga, was picked up from Freedom Bar in Aduku Town council yesterday after being lured by the Kwania District Police Commander for attempting to con Shillings one million from Rtd Captain Alex Omara and others.

Reports indicate that Byaruhanga had earlier called Omara who was dragged to Kwania Central Police Station (CPS) for assault demanding the money to “handle” the matter and “stop it from getting to court.” 

Patrick Jimmy Okema, the North Kyoga Regional Police Spokesperson explained that the DPC lured the suspect to the bar under the guise of giving her the money.

Okema further explained that upon searching the suspect, they didn't find any identification on her but rather found weird things such as tree roots, and feathers. According to Okema, the investigation has commenced and upon conclusion, the suspect will appear in court for impersonation contrary to Sec 381 of the Penal Code Act.
