Cabinet forms sub-committee to investigate Nantaba over gruesome murder of Ssebulime

Must read

Cabinet has formed a sub-committee to investigate the extra judicial killing of Ronald Ssebulime and the assassination attempts of State Minister of Information and Communication Technology Aida Nantaba.

Ssebulime was killed on his way to visit his children at school in Kabimbiri, Mukono district. It is averred that Nantaba suspected him to be an assassin after he made a sudden u turn at Ssinda village, where he stopped to ask the women who always sell food to Nantaba for direction before turning back on Kampala road.

According to State Minister for Internal Affairs, Obiga Kania he has been tasked to head the investigations and the findings will later be presented before cabinet.

“I want on behalf of government and on my own behalf, to express my deepest condolences to the family and relatives of the late Ronald Ssebulime. The death of the late Ronald Ssebulime is extremely sad,” he said during the plenary.

Presenting an interim statement, Mr Kania said they will establish if indeed there was an attempt to assassinate Nantaba and if so, the motive and who was or were the perpetrators.

“A team of detectives from CID headquarters and Kampala Metropolitan Police has been constituted to carry out the investigation,” He said adding that some police officers including Cpl David Ssali, the police officer who ended Ssebulime’s life have been arrested.

On Wednesday last week, Police Spokesman Fred Enanga confirmed that Ssebulime was illegally killed after days of denying that the accusations. Enanga said police patrol in the area told lies.

Since the murder of Ssebulime, the Nantaba has however, declined to go down to her knees and apologies nor condole his family. Nantaba has since then not recorded a statement surrounding the death of an innocent man.

In a letter addressed to the Director Criminal Investigation at police CID, replying police summons, Nantaba said she was unable to report in person having been directed by the president to confine within her premises until himself instructs otherwise.

“In such circumstances, am constrained to travel to Kibuli CID headquarters as you requested. But you may in the meantime consider visiting my premises to record the require statement,” Nantaba’s letter reads in part.

However, her cabinet colleague, Obiga yesterday told NTV in an interview that President Museveni never stopped Nantaba from recording a statement as she alleged but the president only questioned her about her movement if it was true that her life was in danger.
