Uganda’s security agencies have made a major breakthrough in investigating the murder of State Prosecutor Joan Kagezi.
Kagezi was brutally murdered by gunmen on March 15, 2015 in Kiwatule, a Kampala suburb as she made a stop over to buy raw food with her children in a car.
The ruthless assassins sprayed bullets to Kagezi that killed her instantly.
Security agencies including Police, Internal Security Agencies (ISO), CMI, ESO and among others had been grappling with investigations to bring the real killers to justice.
The President of Uganda Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni had however, assured the deceased’s family and the nation that the murderers would be arrested.
On Saturday afternoon Museveni broke news through his social media page X (Twitter) about the arrest of 5 men who are behind the brutal murder.
Below is Museveni’s statement.
“Fellow Ugandans and, especially, the Bazzukulu.
Greetings.
This is to inform you that one of the killers of the tourists and their Ugandan driver, by the name of Njovu, has been arrested while injured. 3 other terrorists have been killed from that group of 10 People who killed the Lhubiriha children, burnt the truck of onions and tried to attack the parked trucks on the Congo- Kasindi side.
The remaining seven are still on the run, but we shall get them. Njovu was their commander. The Njovu group was attacked by the UPDF marine boat on Lake Edward. They did not fully utilize their success after attacking the boat of terrorists. Otherwise, all the terrorists would have been captured.
They delayed in checking the crippled boat until morning, when the 7 had escaped. It was their first time to fight on water. They are perfecting their combat drills.
I congratulate the marines and the CMI for the good job, some gaps in the marines’ performance, notwithstanding.
Further, good success. The suspects in the killing of Joan Kagezi have, finally, been arrested. They are: Kibuuka John, Masajjage John, Kissekka Dan and Nasur Abdalla. They were riding on two motor-cycles.
I congratulate ISO and CID on the good work. They will soon be produced in Court.”
