Bosco Musoke alias Musoke Atwibwas was arrested on Wednesday in Ndeeba for allegedly pretending to be an army lieutenant. Police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba said Musoke reportedly dressed in an army uniform and went to a bar. She said he then went to the scene of an accident that had occurred in the vicinity of the bar. “However, when the policemen saluted him, he did not respond,†Nabakooba added. The policemen started suspecting that he was an impersonator, she said, adding that when Musoke’s friend asked him when he joined the army, it confirmed the officers’ suspicions.
