A police officer attached to Nsangi Police Station, Detective Sergeant Ngabirano Protasi, has been arraigned before Makindye Magistrate’s Court and charged with destroying evidence and conspiracy to obstruct the course of justice.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, the charges against D/Sgt Ngabirano stems from an incident of January 2025 in which he together with others still at large, allegedly conspired to falsely implicate a one Richard Sewanonda in a case of aggravated robbery.
It is alleged that the accused deliberately removed a key witness statement from an official police file at Katwe Police Station in Makindye Division and substituted it with a statement implicating Sewanonda.
D/sgt Ngabirano was allegedly dealing with other parties that intended to dispose of Sewanonda’s contested land while he is in prison.
He denied the allegations and released on bail as investigations continues
