Former Buyende DPC Kirumira sent back to Nalufenya

The Former Buyende DPC, Muhammad Kirumira was briefly granted bail by the police disciplinary court hearing allegations into his misconduct, however his bail took only minutes, when it was cancelled saying the controversial police officer “misbehaved” immediately after.

There was chaos at Naguru as former Buyende District Police Commander; ASP Muhammad Kirumira tried to march out of Police Court protesting what he described as harsh bail conditions.

Court asked Kirumira to present to court two senior police officers above his rank and to report to the Police Profession Standards Unit (PSU) daily. Kirumira however, tried to march out of court saying reporting to PSU every morning meant that he would have to sacrifice his personal work, adding that police had confiscated his phones and therefore there was no way he would have contacted senior police officers to stand as sureties.

He was re-arrested and taken back to Nalufenya, a high profile detention centre in Jinja District.
