The Uganda Police Force has refuted allegations that Kampala Metropolitan CID Commander Joel Ntabu was involved in torturing and threatening suspects arrested during recent anti-corruption protests.
Yesterday, Luke Owesigyire, Deputy Police Spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan, dismissed the claims as unfounded.
Owoyesigyire clarified that Ntabu’s role is limited to supervising case files to ensure they are processed and sanctioned by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Ntabu does not conduct interrogations or interviews with suspects.
The police have urged those making allegations against Ntabu to provide concrete evidence rather than relying on social media claims.
The controversy arose after at least 100 youths were arrested for participating in a march to Parliament protesting against corruption. END.
