The four are currently detained at Central Police Station, Kampala.
It is alleged that Owor and his accomplices extorted money from a Chinese businessman promising to secure the release of his colleagues detained on allegations of manufacturing fake agro-chemical products.
Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesman, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire confirmed the arrest and said: Owor claimed that he was one of the best lawyers in Kampala City and would help secure his (Chinese businessman’s) colleague’s release if he gave them money they would use to beat the police system. Their mission failed.
