Seven suspects have been remanded to Luzira prison over the gruesome murder of Godfrey Wayengera, an official of Compassion International Uganda and director of Beloved Daycare and Nursery School in Nsuube, Mukono district.
Yesterday, Wednesday, the accused were arraigned before Mukono grade one magistrate, Elizabeth Peace Lamunu and charged with murder, kidnapping, and aggravated robbery in connection with Wayengera’s killing.
The suspects include include Asharaf Tumusiime, 40, a resident of Ntungamo, Fahad Kasolo, 30, from Iganga, Mike Ssentaza, 40, also known as Mwagamwaga, a resident of Wakiso, Sgt Muhammad Mwesigye, 54, alias Jet Lee from Fort Portal, Cpl Boban Mugabe, attached to the UPDF Military Police in Kololo, Derrick Keeya, a resident of Ntenjeru, Mukono and Dauda Kyangwe.
According to the prosecution, the suspects, along with others still at large, allegedly abducted Wayengera and Christine Najjabi on June 9, 2025 in Nsuube while returning from a burial in Mbale.
The attackers were reportedly armed with a toy pistol and sticks. Court heard that while impersonating security officers, the group pretended to escort Wayengera to Mukono police station, but instead diverted to Kyungu Road, where Wayengera was murdered.
The attackers also allegedly robbed Wayengera’s personal belongings, including a Samsung SMA256 smartphone worth Shs 1.3 million and a Dell Latitude 5420 laptop valued at Shs 3 million.
Senior resident state attorney Emily Ninsiima informed the court that investigations are still ongoing and requested that the suspects be remanded. Magistrate Lamunu granted the request, remanding the seven until August 7.
Today it is me, Wayengera, tomorrow it’s some one else…
Ugandans should STOP BEING SLEEPY(you can see that there was an army guy involved…though Wayengera was out numbered from the start)
Resist informality when there are established formal procedures…kakwenza, tinkasimire, achileo, Eddie mutwe,etc
I strongly believe in all cases there were onlookers looking on like goats…
“…it does not concern me…” until it happens to you or someone you care about…
Rape, defilement, theft, assault, etc is only entertaining until it happens to you or someone you care about.
These things only happen because Ugandans allow/let them happen…
It is not possible for Mr. Museveni or any other “politician” to remotely stop this no matter what they promise. MAKE SUCH CHAPS LOSE APPETITE FOR SUCH THINGS.
NO POLICE UNIFORM AND PROPER INTRODUCTION, NO ARREST !
And those fools who call/invite people to burials when they cannot guarantee their security…(culture does not equate to stupidity- you now have 2 dead bodies, people who have lost jobs and widow(s) with cold nights)
Let us get real
