Luigi Candia, the proprietor of Hotel Pacific dismissed the police allegations against Kyagulanyi as untrue - aimed at covering up the "vandalism and robbery" done by the presidential guards. Kyagulanyi was arrested on Tuesday morning allegedly from the ceiling of the hotel where he'd been hiding. Wadri and several MPs were arrested on Monday.
Luigi said his hotel was besieged by the army who beat up hotel staff, vandalised guest rooms, destroyed furniture and went away with over Shs 80 million. He said the money belonged to the hotel and their guests.

I only wish the clock could be rewound to 1970s to understand who Moses Ali actually is! He must be such a nut to forget his role in the killings of the 1970s.
Meanwhile, Ms Angucia should take responsibility to parade silly accusations against honest Ugandans whose only sin is to fight for the rights of Ugandans.
What will she give as a response to her siblings when people of Arua will accuse them of being brought into this world by a traitor, a woman whose sole aim to exist was driving her own people to prison in exchange for money?
If only you could listen and deal with the causes rather than problems!!
Lwamafa's head was put in a jeep and driven on every street and road around Mbarara town by Moses Ali.
While in Mbale his brother Col Joseph Ozo murdered former MP for Bugisu North West, George Woisi and dumped his body in Bugema forest. Today Moses Ali has been rewarded.
Two weeks to the elections, shadowy Kampala city money launderer, Brian White, settled in Arua municipality in pretence to redeeming the youths and women out of poverty.
He distributed money and promised more huge sacks of money to the residents of the municipality, but, all those who attended these criminal like activities clearly saw it was a camouflaged political move for the NRM to woo votes because recipients were told to vote for the NRM because the Opposition do not give money.
Brian called on the youth and women to love and support Museveni.
1- But that was taxpayers money used for wooing votes for Ms Tiperu.
2- If Bryan White was genuine then he was unknowingly an indictment of NRM dismal failure in the West Nile region, why vote for?
3- Bryan White's undisclosed source of funds portrayed him a criminal or their agent and his praise of Museveni placed the NRM amongst mafias.
4- The West Nile region, though the poorest, is renowned for honesty, humility and will not be in support of shady deals the likes of Bryan White. Bryan dealing for NRM cost the party dearly.
