Police at Jinja Road are holding three suspects in connection with personation.
The suspects were arrested on 24th March 2026 and have been identified as Ariho Abubakar Uthmaan, Bukenya Fayim, and Kaweesi Dalton.
It is alleged that the trio has been impersonating the Inspector General of Police, Abas Byakagaba, on various social media platforms with the intent to extort money from police officers and members of the public.
A case of personation has since been registered. A search conducted at the suspects’ premises led to the recovery of electronic devices and documents believed to have been used in the commission of the crime.
Investigations are ongoing.
