FRANK GASHUMBA, the guardian of Aisha Nabukeera who was allegedly burnt by her step-mother, was yesterday charged with obtaining sh800,000 by false pretence from Abdu Ssali, a city businessman, write Vision Reporters.
Gashumba, a businessman, appeared before Buganda Road Court Magistrate Susan Kanyange and denied the charge. He was released on a cash bail of sh100,000.
Prosecutor Emmanuel Ojambo told court that Gashumba and Ishaka Ndungu Muwesi approached Ssali with an offer to secure a logbook for his vehicle, which they failed to deliver.
They are also charged with conspiracy to commit an offence, over claims by the prosecution that they connived to defraud Ssali of his money on March 8.
Gashumba is also accused of malicious damage to property worth sh1m.
He allegedly vandalised Peace Bashemweire’s vehicle, which he had hired to do his private business.
He was arrested on Thursday evening on Wilson Road, Kampala and was detained at the Central Police Station.
Another complainant, Rose Lule, has accused Gashumba of conning her of sh2m, for which he was reportedly to help her acquire travel documents to the UK last year. The Police also said Gashumba is accused of issuing a bounced cheque of sh7m to Vasco Othero.
