The Directorate of Crime Intelligence in coordination with CID in Gulu, charged to court, a one Iguma Mubarak (33years) for personation and obtaining money by False Pretence from over 200 people in Elegu, while posturing as a member of the MK Movement.
According to police, Mubarak had defrauded over 200 people in Elegu, especially boda boda riders, taxi operators, market vendors, salon and bar operators, after he promised that he would link them up to Gen. Muhoozi Kaneirugaba (Gen. MK), for support.
Uganda Police spokesperson SCP Fred Enanga said Mubarak was charged before the Chief Magistrates Courts in Gulu and efforts are also in place to trace for his other accomplice, identified as Abdul Karim Matovu, who is on the run.
Documents recovered on Mubarak, upon search, show he made false statements, while using the MK Movement Constitution and Membership Cards, which he issued to the victims, after them paying membership fees.
“We would like to commend the D/CI, and Gulu CID, for their outstanding work. The arrest will serve as a great warning to fraudsters and con persons, who use false identities and misrepresentations, to defraud innocent victims” Enanga said in a statement.
