Security agencies have arrested a man in connection with the recent attack on a Kawafu resident during a joint operation in Abaita Ababiri. According to Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire, the suspect, identified as Nabete Grace, also known as “FBI” or “Escobar,” was picked up following coordinated intelligence-led operations.
Police said the arrest is linked to an incident that occurred on the night of February 12, 2026, when Batabane Richard was attacked at his home in Kawafu.
“Acting on credible information, security agencies mounted a coordinated operation in the early hours of 17th February 2026, resulting in the arrest of the suspect,” Owoyesigyire said.
The suspect is currently in custody to assist with investigations. Security agencies said efforts are ongoing to apprehend other suspects still at large.
