Five people including two women have been charged and remanded to Luzira Prison over the murder of former Ndiga clan leader Eng. Daniel Kakeedo Bbosa.
They are Noah Lujja, 21, Harriet Nakiguli,40, Joseph Nakabale, 47, Ezra Mayanja, 44, and Milly Naluwenda, 46, the secretary of the Kisekwa Cultural Court of Buganda.
On Monday, March 11, 2024, Principal Grade One Magistrate Adams Byarugaba read out the charges to the accused but declined them to take a plea, saying the court has no jurisdiction to hear the case.
“This court has no powers to hear your case. So, you are not going to answer anything,” the magistrate said.
State attorney from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions Caroline Mpumwire said investigations into the matter are still ongoing and asked the court to adjourn the matter to another date for mention.
The accused were charged with murder, contrary to sections 188 and 189 of the Penal Code Act Cap 120.
The prosecution alleges that the accused and others still at large, on February 25, 2024, at Kikandwa Lungujja, Rubaga Division in Kampala district, with malice aforethought, unlawfully caused the death of Bbosa.
However, the search for the prime suspect and the alleged mastermind of the murder, Lujja Bbosa Tabula, remains ongoing, according to Police spokesperson Fred Enanga.
“Tabula is currently evading authorities and is still at large. In a bid to expedite his capture, a bounty of shillings 10 million shillings has been offered for anyone who can provide credible information leading to his arrest“ Enanga, said while addressing journalists on Monday, March 11, 2024, at the Police headquarters in Naguru, Kampala.
He said tipsters are encouraged to contact the CID Headquarters via telephone at 0741111333 or visit in person to provide any pertinent information.
According to Enanga, the joint CI/CID task team continues to deploy all available resources and strategies to track down Tabula and ensure he is held accountable for his alleged involvement in the murder-for-hire plot.
“His apprehension is crucial in unravelling the complexities of this case and delivering justice for Engineer Daniel Bbosa and his loved ones,” Enanga said.
