The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Jane Francis Abodo, has withdrawn murder charges against Milly Naluwenda.
Naluwenda was one of the suspects implicated in the assassination of Ndiga clan leader Eng Denis Bbosa.
According to the withdrawal form presented by state attorney Lillian Omara Abodo, she informed Mwanga II Grade One Magistrate Adams Byarugaba that Naluwenda is set free.
“I have instructions to discontinue proceedings against Milly Naluwenda,” Omara said.
In August, Tabula Bbosa Lujja confessed to orchestrating the killing of the former head of the Ndiga clan, Eng Daniel Bbosa.
Lujja claimed that he hired the killers, and it was an act of vengeance that aimed at reclaiming his ancestral inheritance. Conversely, he said his father was killed over the leadership of the Ndiga clan.
“I do not regret hiring two killers, Serunkuma and Noah Lujja. I know it is wrong to murder, but I was securing my ancestors’ rightful ownership of the Luwomwa.” Tabula said at Muwanga II Court.
He is charged alongside the five suspects, who include Noah Lugya, Harriet Nakabale Nakiguli, Ezra Mayanja Ezra, and Joseph Nakabale.
Bbosa was fatally shot on February 25, 2024, by assailants as he was approaching his residence in Kikandwa Zone, Lungujja Parish, Lubaga Division. The assailants, riding on a motorcycle, opened fire at Bbosa’s motor vehicle, bearing registration number UAH 637X, resulting in his immediate demise.
During the heinous act, a vigilant resident bravely intervened, knocking down the assailants’ motorcycle and alerting the community. Swiftly, members of the community mobilised, leading to a confrontation with the assailants. Mob justice ensued, resulting in the death of one assailant at the scene, while the other remains in critical condition.
Police recovered the firearm allegedly used in the murder incident, along with the motorcycle registration number UEX 754E, used by the assailants during the attack.
