Top city cop in trouble over clobbering Besigye supporters

Former Wandegeya Division Police Commander Mr Moses Nanoka’s troubles are not yet to cease.

Weeks after being relieved of his official duties (placed on katebe), the Police Court in Naguru on Tuesday ruled that Nanoka, neglected his duty when he did not restrain his juniors from beating up civilians who were cheering Dr Besigye at Kalerwe Market on July 12 contrary to section 44(1) code 19(A) of the police Act.

The flamboyant cop is now set to attend a marathon of court hearings alongside Constable Robert Wanzala who is charged alongside. Both police officers pleaded not guilty.

The beating of innocent citizens has since last month drawn condemnation from legislators across the political divide, civil society activists, clergy and members of the public.
