Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Former Busiro South MP aspirant, Paul Owor has been remanded to Luzira prison on allegations of fraud, impersonation, and land malpractice.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was after Owor appeared before Entebbe magistrate\u2019s court where he was charged on Friday.<\/p>\n

Court presided over by Chief Magistrate, Stella Maris Amabilis, heard that Mr Owor faces four counts of forgery, uttering false documents, obtaining money by false pretense and conspiracy to commit a felony.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from a case in which the flamboyant youthful politician is accused of defrauding one Ms Loyce Nahwera of Shs75 million under the pretense of selling her a 100×100 piece of land in Namulanda zone, Kajjansi Town Council, Wakiso District.<\/p>\n

In his defense, Owor vehemently denied any wrongdoing, attributing the charges to political witch-hunt aimed at tarnishing his reputation among his supporters.<\/p>\n

However, Ms Amabilis ordered Owor and his co-accused, Geoffrey Opule to be remanded to Luzira and Kigo prisons, respectively, until March 25, 2024 when they will be returned for a ruling on their bail application.<\/p>\n

The allegations against Owor include selling the same piece of land to both Ms Nahwera and Mr Opule at Shs75 million each in July 2022.<\/p>\n
