(Kampala) – Joshua Tumusiime, a conman known for using various aliases, including Conrade, Kalinda Jenesis, Arun Kumar, and Patel, was arrested in Kampala for defrauding multiple companies. Tumusiime, who fraudulently presented himself as the owner of Twilight Holdings Limited, is accused of securing a contract with Grain Pulse Limited to transport fertilizers to western Uganda. He then subcontracted the actual transportation work to Lolyne Enterprises Limited under a false identity.
Tumusiime reportedly deceived Lolyne Enterprises into carrying out the transportation, promising payment of Shs 12 million. However, after the work was completed, he disappeared without paying Lolyne Enterprises for the services rendered. This scam is not an isolated incident, as Tumusiime has faced complaints from multiple police stations, including Kireka, CPS Kampala, Bweyogere, and Jinja Road.
The police investigation revealed that Tumusiime used several false identities, one of which was Arun Kumar, a supposed Chinese businessman. This deception allowed him to trick companies into entering fraudulent contracts. Tumusiime’s accomplice, Ssebalu Moses, was also arrested in connection with the scam. Both suspects are currently in custody at Jinja Road Police Station and face charges of obtaining money by false pretenses and theft.
As the police continue their investigations, they are calling on any additional victims to come forward. The case is set to be submitted to the Resident State Attorney for legal action. Authorities are urging the public to be cautious and report any suspicious activities to prevent further fraud.
