KAMPALA, Uganda — Police in Nateete are holding a 26-year-old man on allegations of impersonation following a dramatic incident along the Northern Bypass in Busega.
The suspect, identified as Abdu Serugo, was arrested on the evening of April 21, 2026, after reportedly threatening members of the public while claiming to be a security officer capable of opening fire.
According to police, security teams responded swiftly to the scene and apprehended the suspect. A search conducted at the time of arrest led to the recovery of a toy pistol, along with items believed to have been used to reinforce his false identity, including footwear resembling military boots and an SFC T-shirt.
Preliminary investigations suggest that Serugo may be linked to a group targeting unsuspecting victims along the busy bypass corridor.
Police have since opened cases of impersonation and threatening violence, and investigations into the matter are ongoing.
