The General Court Martial at Makindye has released on bail three [3] out of the seven[7] jailed police officers battling kidnap charges.
A panel of seven members of the Court Martial chaired by Lt. Gen Andrew Gutti has released D/CPL Amon Kwarisima , SPC Faisal Katende and D/ASP James Magada on grounds that the junior ranking officers can neither interfere with on-going CMI investigations nor threaten prosecution witnesses.
The three officers have been released on a non cash bond of ten million shillings each while their sureties entered non cash bond of 5 million shillings each.
The bailed officers must also report to the registrar of the General court Martial twice every month and ordered not to travel out of Kampala without permission from court.
Court warned that failure to abide by the above conditions will automatically lead to cancellation of bail.
The seven men are facing charges of kidnap of three Rwandese nationals and unlawfully conveying them to their country against their will.
Other suspects Joel Aguma, Nixon Agasirwe , Benon Atwebembeirwe and Abel Tumukunde have been remanded back to Luzira prison and Makindye military police barracks respectively until the 5th/February/2028 as CMI continues with investigations.
