The court is being presided over by Principal Grade One Magistrate Adams Byarugaba.

In the last court session, the state attorney from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Caroline Mpumwire, said investigations into the matter are still ongoing.

Allegations

Prosecution alleges that the accused and others still at large, on February 25, 2024, at Kikandwa Lungujja Rubaga Division in Kampala, with malice aforethought, unlawfully caused the death of Bbosa.

Hunt for other suspects

Police have also intensified the search for the prime suspect in the murder of Bbosa, with the latest move seeing five shrines in the Mukono and Wakiso districts raided.

Lujja Bbosa Tabula, the alleged mastermind behind the murder of the businessman, is on the run.

Following a tip-off that Tabula had sought refuge in shrines, Police raided and searched five of them. However, Tabula was reportedly tipped off and eluded arrest.

According to sources, Tabula was seeking solace in shrines thinking he would be protected by traditional spirits, but he was shocked to learn that Police was pursuing him.
