Tycoon Christine Nabukeera and her son Vincent Mawanda may be sent back to jail as police detective testifies and gives court concrete exhibits which pins the duo in the case were their former tenant is accusing them for breaking into his shop and stealing merchandise worth UGX 200 millions.
Although Nabukeera denies breaking into her tenant’s shop a one, John Kabanda, Police Constable, Detective Denis Abazuku pins her in the exhibits he tendered to court which was accepted by the chief magistrate Gladys Kamasanyu who is handling the case.
Nabukeera’s lawyers lead by counsel Dousman Kabega had objected Kampala Capital Authority (KCCA) receipts which indicate John Kabanda paid for the trade license and operated his business at Nabukeera’s Nana Centre building from 2018 to 2020 on grounds that Abazuku was not the lawful person to obtain such receipts.
The magistrate over ruled them and accepted the exhibit on grounds that it wasn’t detective Abazuku who obtained them but his boss ASP Godrine Agaba the OC CID at Kampala CPS in the period the suspects allegedly committed the offense.
Nabukeera in her police state which was recorded in 2021 by detective Abazuku indicated that she has never had a tenant in the names of John Kabanda on her Nana Centre building located along Nabugabo street but the detective tendered to court exhibits which shows that Kabanda was a tenant in shop number D21 at Nana centre building and his wife Kaitesi was running the shop and paying rent to Nabukeera.
Although she was not issuing her with the receipts for money received for rent, the detective tendered also to court copies of photocopied pages of the black book were Nabukeera was recording the payments received and Kaitesi the payer would counter- sign against the amount paid. The detective also gave court a report from the police’s forensic experts as regards to the Kaitesi’s signatures.
Magistrate Kamasanyu adjourned the court and hearing will resume on March 6, 2023 when the Forensic experts will be physically in court to be cross examined.
