The Uganda Prisons Service has announced a Shs10 million reward for information leading to the arrest of a prison warder accused of shooting dead four people at Kiboga Government Prison.
In a press statement issued on March 9, 2026, the prisons spokesperson, Frank Baine Mayanja, said the reward will be given to anyone who provides credible information leading to the arrest of Warder No. 13544 Anguyo Moses, the prime suspect in the deadly shooting. Baine said the Commissioner General of Prisons placed a UGX10,000,000 bounty on the suspect to support the ongoing manhunt.
“The Commissioner General of the Uganda Prisons Service has put a bounty of UGX10,000,000 as a reward to anyone who provides reliable information leading to the arrest of the murderer, Warder Anguyo Moses,” Baine said in the statement.
He added that all information provided will be treated with strict confidentiality, urging members of the public to report any leads through the toll-free lines 999 or 0800144144, or to the nearest police station.

Deadly shooting
According to prison authorities, the suspect allegedly opened fire on colleagues at Kiboga Government Prison on February 23, killing three people instantly before fleeing the scene with a firearm.
Those killed were identified as Assistant Superintendent of Prisons Hope Catherine, Principal Officer Bright Akishuri, who was the third-in-command at the facility, and Sarah Ayebare, the wife of the Officer-in-Charge of the prison.
A toddler who had been injured during the shooting later died in hospital, bringing the death toll to four people. Security agencies immediately launched a joint manhunt for the suspect, who reportedly fled the prison premises shortly after the incident.

Baine warned that the suspect is still dangerous and urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact security agencies immediately.
Authorities said investigations into the motive behind the shooting are still ongoing.
