In 2014, Lieutenant Jeol Mutabazi who formerly served as personal aide to Rwandan President Paul Kagame was convicted to life imprisonment for attempting to overthrow his home government.
However, what startled mostly the International Community particularly UN is the fact that Lt Mutabazi had fled Rwanda in the past and sought asylum to Uganda.
It would later raise eyebrows how Kampala violated the international refugee treaty and handed over Mutabazi to Kigali.
Hell broke loose in June last year, when Uganda hosted Refugee Solidarity Summit.
This website learnt that several UN officials expressed distress to President Yoweri Museveni how his government was illegally repatriating Rwandan refugees.
Vividly irked Museveni wondered which security agency was behind these criminal acts and who was leading the operation.
He dispatched his trusted military boys to ascertain with proof why the refugees were kidnapped and forcefully sent back home.
The investigators found out that the crimes were committed by senior cops.
Museveni, we can authoritatively report summoned IGP Kayihura (then) and grilled him over this sensitive matter.
The President who had gathered evidence asked Kayihura if he was aware of his juniors extraditing of Rwandans.
Kayihura would deny. At this point the President instructed Military Intelligence head Brig Abel Kandiho to lead an operation of arresting all those cops involved in this criminality.
Lucrative Business
Akiramu Sekajja is a former Flying Squad Unit Operative who quit in 2015 to concentrate on his own business as a car dealer in Kampala city.
Sekajja exclusively talked to this website on Friday morning, expounded on what compelled him to quit police which he joined in 2012.
Sekajja, has been detained twice- in 2015 when Principal State Attorney Joan Kagezi was assassinated as she returned home and in 2017 after senior police officer AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi was shot dead near his home.
All the two times, Sekajja was accused of killing these government officials by Nixon Agasirwe a ‘prominent dealer of Rwandan refugees.’
Sekajja explained that he was always a threat to Nixon having fallen out with him in 2015 and subsequently quitting police.
“I quit because I learnt that Nixon and several other operatives were kidnapping Rwandan refugees and taking them to Katuna. I told Nixon that I wouldn’t be part of this business,” Sekajja revealed.
“These refugees were captured at night and by morning they would be at the border, Katuna. This is where Rwandan officials in military fatigue would pick them and then handover briefcase full of Ugandan shillings to Nixon.”
Sekajja says that when he protested, Nixon and his cohort threatened to take his life.
“But I stood my word and quit.”
Shortly after Sekajja had left the deadly police squad, Kagezi was shot dead.
He would later be arrested as a suspect.
“Nixon sent his boys who picked me from Pine car bond, blindfolded me and took me to a safe house in Kololo where I found Nixon. He tortured me for 3 months saying I should confess that I killed Kagezi which I denied,” said Sekajja.
Hadn’t it been the intervention of AIGP Andrew Kaweesi who stormed the safe house at night and released Sekajja, he would be history.
“Kaweesi knew about my arrest and forcefully accessed the safe house,” he said.
This rogue officer Nixon who joined police as an informant later wielded a lot of power and was very close to Gen Kayihura.
He executed many covert missions.
He is now detained at Makindye Barracks while battling several charges in the military court.
Among the charges include armed robbery, murder and illegal repatriation of Rwandan refugees.
Many of his collaborators in police were also arrested including his former boss Gen Kale Kayihura.
Sekajja refers to Nixon as an affluent man who amassed wealth from selling refugees.
