The Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence is holding an armour man at Kampala Central Police station for selling police guns.
Sgt Hannington Mugungira is being detained at CMI manned Special Investigations Division in Kireka after police guns went missing in February this year.
It is reported that during the audit, guns we discovered missing and further probe discovered that Mugungira had sold two pistols.
A source at Kampala CPS told one tabloid, that the suspect admitted that he sold the pistols which further led CMI operatives to the arrest of a one Akampulira from Maestro Security Company who is the buyer of the said guns.
Luke Owoyesigire the Kampala Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson when contacted for a comment said the matter was being handled by CID headquarters in Kibuli.
Owoyesigire referred this online newspaper to SP Vicente Sekate the CID spokesperson for more details but could not be reached by the time of press.
Six Police officers were in 2017 arrested at Kampala Central Police station (CPS) over a break-in at the station’s armory.
The police officers are said to have been guarding the station when unknown thugs raided the station and took off with two AK47 guns and 60 bullets.
The stolen guns and bullets were later recovered in Iganga district.
Details indicated that the guns had been hired out to criminals.
It is alleged that some policemen connived with the officer in charge of the armory to secure the guns and hire them out to criminals at unknown amount. The criminals were expected to return the guns after their mission.
However, the guns were discovered missing on a Sunday when some officers on duty were supposed to use them. Upon realizing that they were about to busted, the implicated officers tried to break the armory lock to make it look like a break-in but it was too late.
