This prompted ASP Mustafa, who was the Office-in-Charge of Busega Police Post, to arrest him; he wasn\u2019t one of the officers under his jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Kampala Metropolitan police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said the officers found the suspect had impounded several motorists on traffic offences.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was taken to Nateete Police Station.
