The territorial Police at Kampala Metropolitan North carried out a coordinated intelligence led operation on the 3rd May 2024, that resulted in the apprehension of a Chinese national, JIN YUNGUNG, aged 33, residing in Ganda, Nansana Municipality, Wakiso.
Luke Owoyesigyire, Deputy Police Spokesperson, Kampala Metropolitan said that Mr. YUNGUNG was found operating a shop involved in the illegal sale of government property, specifically army uniforms, shoes, and gloves. His shop, located at Kasaga Shop No.14, was targeted following intelligence reports.
Owoyesigyire added that during the operation, significant quantities of military equipment were seized from Mr. YUNGUNG’s premises, including uniforms resembling those of the UPDF and SFC.
“Investigations revealed Mr. YUNGUNG’s collaboration with an individual known only as Frank, purportedly affiliated with the Special Forces Command (SFC), who provided both the business idea and financing. Mr. YUNGUNG admitted that some uniforms were sourced from Somalia,” Owoyesigyire said.
He further noted that it was discovered that Mr. YUNGUNG entered Uganda as a tourist, renewing his visa periodically by traveling to neighboring countries.
