Military Court Martial Releases Ex-Police Flying Squad Boss, Herbert Muhangi.

Former commander of the Police Flying Squad Unit, ACP Herbert Muhangi.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Herbert Muhangi, the former commander of the Police Flying Squad Unit, has again been granted temporary freedom after the General Court Martial reinstated his bail.

The military court sitting in Makindye, was presided over by Lt Gen Andrew Gutti.

Muhangi who was in the morning in company of his sureties ACP Elvis Byamugisha and Emmanuel Muheirwe a lecturer at Makerere University, is expected back in court on February 10 this year for mention.

Muhangi was first arrested by by the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) in June 2018 and charged before the Court Martial with aiding and abetting kidnap and repatriation of Rwandan refugees back to Rwanda against their own will.

He is accused alongside former Inspector General of Police, Gen Kale Kayihura, former Director of Crime Intelligence in Police, Col Atwooki Ndahura, SSP Nixon Agasirwe and others. Kayihura and Ndahura have since been released.

Muhangi was however released by the same court on a non-cash bail of Shs 10 million. His sureties were also bonded at Shs 5 million non-cash and his movements were restricted to Kampala and Wakiso districts as one of his bail conditions.

However, he was re-arrested by security personnel outside the court immediately after coming coming out of the court room.

Prosecution alleges that between the year 2012 and 2016, by omission and commission, the group aided and abetted the actions of subordinate police officers and others on various occasions without hindrance to kidnap and illegally repatriate Rwandan exiles, refugees and Ugandan citizens to Rwanda.

The victims include Lt. Joel Mutabazi, a former bodyguard of the Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Jackson Karemera and Sgt. Innocent Karisa.

Muhangi lost his Senior position as commander of the Police Flying Squad in June 2018, following a reshuffle by IGP Okoth Ochola.

His time at the helm of the Flying Squad was characterized by several accusations against him and the uncouth dealings of the Unit.

He was at the receiving end of allegations of corruption, torture while operatives of the Unit, previously mandated to curb sophisticated crime were accused of conniving with criminals.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
