Sergeant Richard Ngabirano, an investigating officer has been arrested, whereas four of his juniors including Caroline Adio, Atugonza Muganyizi and Moris Ayesiga are still on the run after the Saturday incident in which they arrested Christine Natuhwera.
It happened at around 8pm during Christine Natuhwera’s wedding reception at Kakiika Technical Institute in Mbarara, Police spokesperson, Fred Enanga said.
He noted that the incident stemmed from an earlier case in which Natuhwera, who working for Henry Mirembe made a shs.8 million loss as she worked as a bank agent, prompting the latter to take the matter to police where he reported a case of theft.
The case was investigated by police and later file forwarded to the Resident State Attorney in Mbarara who advised the duo to negotiate and reach a middle ground by Mirembe.
According to the police spokesperson, when the file was sanctioned again, the four police officers in collusion with the complainant sought to embarrass Natuhwera during her during her wedding.
Now Enanga says the police officers will face the law.END.
