UPDF Warns Against Staying at Polling Stations and Marching to Kampala.

In a strongly worded statement, the UPDF said those who doubt the capability of the country’s armed forces should reflect on past engagements with armed groups in the region.

“If the NUP leader is in doubt about the capabilities of our armed forces, he should consult the al-Shabaab in Somalia, the ADF and CODECO in the DRC, or Joseph Kony and his defunct LRA in CAR, as well as other violent and negative groups in the region,” the statement reads in part.

''Therefore, the modern day Alice Lakwenas, or the Kirumira Mutimas of the Ruwenzori region recently—who similarly confuse young people into reckless misadventures have no place in Uganda’s progress and transformational journey,” the statement adds.

Police’s Agasiirwe hid Joan Kagezi murder weapon, DPP tells court.

Former senior police officer, Nickson Agasiirwe Karuhanga, concealed the murder weapon used to kill former assistant director of public prosecutions (DPP) Joan Namazzi Kagezi, nearly a decade ago, according to the office of the director of public prosecutions (DPP).

Agasiirwe, a senior superintendent of police (SSP), and Abdu Noor Ssemujju, alias Minaana, have now been committed to the High court for trial following a decision by the Nakawa Chief Magistrate’s court, after prosecutors confirmed that investigations are complete.

The committal followed the presentation of papers by chief state attorney Richard Birivumbuka, who informed court that the indictment was sanctioned by the DPP on December 15, 2025, and that the state is ready to proceed on the basis of circumstantial evidence.

According to the prosecution, Agasiirwe initially joined the Uganda Police Force as an informant before being regularised as a special police constable attached to the then Rapid Response Unit (RRU) in Kireka.

He rose rapidly through the ranks and by 2015 had become an SSP, commanding the Special Operations Unit, a sensitive outfit reporting directly to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and comprising both regular officers and covert operatives.

While heading the unit, Agasiirwe allegedly recruited Minaana as a police informant despite being fully aware of his extensive criminal record. Prosecutors say Minaana had previously been arrested and remanded at Kireka on charges including murder, armed robbery and motor vehicle theft.

Court records show that Minaana was also linked to several violent crimes, including the attack on Naggalama police station in Mukono district, where officers were shot dead and fi****ms stolen, hijacking of a fuel tanker in Bweyogerere, and an armed robbery at Arua Park, during which a female hawker was killed.

Despite repeated arrests, the prosecution alleges that Agasiirwe shielded

“The law is clear; people who are willing to remain near the polling stations after casting their votes are free to do so if they are 20 meters away and in full observance of the law to avoid causing chaos.
