PRESS RELEASE

The Police is glad to inform the public that Christopher Aine, who was wanted in connection to a case of assault occasioning grievous harm in Ntungamo and to answer court summons before the Chief Magistrates Court, Jinja, surfaced last evening, alive and in good healthy state.

We are greatly relieved that he voluntarily handed over himself to security and indeed, through his public interview, put to shame, those who have all along used cheap propaganda to generate publicity over his disappearance, claiming he was in police custody and others that insinuated that the police had killed him.  

Actually our wander now, is what the lawyers of the Go Forward, and Self - styled Political Activist, Charles Rwomushana who rushed to conclusions without conducting sufficient investigations on circumstances under which Christopher Aine disappeared?

We want to   announce that the search for Christopher Aine has ended, and we would wish to applaud him once again for his voluntary return, which is a legal obligation.  

It is in this very regard, that there will be no consideration for the reward of Uganda shillings 20.000.000/= (twenty million shillings only) initially placed  on information leading to his arrest, because there was no information given, after the suspect handed himself over to security.  The conditions set were not met.

We want to greatly thank and appreciate the public for their support, and although there would be no consideration, it should not undermine future attempts by police to get information about unsolved crimes by offering rewards.
On the matter of the way forward in respect of Christopher Aine's situation, we shall at appropriate time make our position and inform the public.
