Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A suspected killer and operative with the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) Paddy Sserunjogi, aka Sobi, has been arrested with 28 others over attempting to raid a village in Wakiso District.<\/p>\n

Police say Sobi\u2019s team forcefully fenced off four acres of land in a swamp in Nakuwadde Village near Kireka-Bbira.<\/p>\n

Witnesses said Sobi and his team were riding in four mini buses and a truck containing eucalyptus poles, shovels and machetes. They were allegedly escorted by men in military uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe group camped in a church structure on arrival at 10am. When the owners of the land inquired about Sobi\u2019s intent, he threatened that lives could be lost if he faced any antagonism,\u201d one of the bibanja holders, Christopher Nuwagaba, said.<\/p>\n

Residents gave a tip-off to Regional Police Commander Charles Nsaba who executed the arrest.<\/p>\n

Kampala Police Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson, Mr Luke Oweyesigire confirmed the arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were allegedly going to fence off someone\u2019s land in Nakule-Wakiso. Locals informed the police that his land was attacked by goons and was already being fenced off. Police responded and arrested people, Sobi inclusive,\u201d Mr Oweyesigire said.<\/p>\n

Mr Abdu Nasser, another kibanja owner, said a one Alex, is responsible for bringing the group as he has on several occasions attempted to evict residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now that he is arrested, I think we will be able to get some peace,\u201d Mr Nasser said.<\/p>\n

Sobi is a former mugger, who once openly told the media that he killed people when he was still a thief. But he was later assimilated into the ISO by former director general Kaka Bagyenda.<\/p>\n

The UPDF spokesperson, Brig Flavia Byekwaso, said he was not aware whether that Sobi was still working with ISO and directed us to the director general, whose telephone was unavailable by press time.<\/p>\n
