Mukono – A well-known land dealer in Mukono, Kityo Seruma Green Way Edward, and his associate Kazibwe Yusufu, have this afternoon been arraigned before the Grade One Magistrate’s Court in Nakifuma on charges of forcible entry and conspiracy to commit a felony. The suspects were charged following a joint operation by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
According to prosecution, between 2020 and 2023, the accused, along with others still at large, unlawfully and violently entered a piece of land (kibanja) belonging to Kamundu Martin, located in Nakasajja Village, Kyampisi Sub-county, Mukono District. The suspects allegedly destroyed property, trees, and crops on the land with the intent of forcefully taking possession of it. Furthermore, they are accused of colluding with one of the land's administrators to illegally subdivide the land into plots, which they later sold to various buyers.
Magistrate remanded both Kityo and Kazibwe until April 28, 2025, as investigations into the matter continue.
Authorities have emphasized their commitment to cracking down on fraudulent land dealings and protecting landowners from illegal evictions and encroachments.
