February 9, 2021 Mosquito net distribution
Four people have been arrested after they were found in possession of 2,100 government mosquito nets.
The suspects have been identified as Israel Musaazi, Christopher Habomugisha, Baker Musoke and Richard Ndigizimana. They were intercepted along Kira road two days ago by the 999 patrol team that became suspicious of a vehicle moving in curfew hours.
Luke Owoyesigyire, the deputy Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, said that when the police checked the Premio vehicle UAG 107D, they found it loaded with government labelled mosquito nets.
Police say the group was tasked them to explain how they had acquired the nets and where they were taking them in wee hours but they had no answers prompting their arrest.
