COMPLAINANT’S STATEMENT
STATES:
The above stated particulars and address are mine. June 2023, I bought a
school from Ssiswaala Arafat. The school is called Twinkles Modern School.
The school is found in Kitukutwe, Kira Municipality Wakiso District. After
the Purchase, I retained the Head Teacher, Tebusweke Boaz. He helped me

Page 6 of 21
while I prepared my new team to take over the school. The school has a main
gate and another small gate at the back of the school. We bought the school
with a lot of furniture and a big generator that was housed at the back of the
Head Teacher’s office. Ssiswaala still had access to the school in order to
finalise the hand over. I had given Ssiswaala two months to completely
vacate the school property including all offices.
The school had armed guards at the main gate. We also retained the guards.
During the month of September 2023, the Head Teacher informed me that
Ssiswaala had come into the school the previous day while driving a pickup
truck. That he stayed in till late. After his departure, the generator went
missing. When I checked my phone, I found a missed call that came in the
previous night at around 10:00PM from the security guard known as
Batalingaya. When I later contacted him, he told me that he wanted to inform
me that that Ssiswaala had left the school late carrying on a pick up, what he
thought was an office desk.
I urged the guards to maintain tight security at the school and I instructed
Tebusweke and the guards never to allow in any former employees of the
school including Ssiswaala without my permission.
I later called Ssiswaala who kept rejecting my calls but later told me said that
he was too busy but also denied having taken or even seen the generator.
Yesterday, I received a call from police that Nsaaga Melton a neigbour to
Tebusweke was arrested with a generator engraved with the names of my
school. Nsaaga was trying to install it at his factory. The police recovered the
generator from Nsaaga. Nsaaga says that he bought it from someone who
brought it to him. He says that remembers the face of the seller and the truck
that delivered the generator to him. The generator is still at police and is
valued at 150,000,000/=.
That is all I can state for now.
Statement made by me, found true and correct.

at the gate. Few weeks back, I left my office for the former owner Ssiswaalla

informed by the guard Batalingaya that he stayed in the school upto very
late at about 10: 00PM and left in his black Ford Pickup truck. I Was told that
he was carrying something but it was dark. I cannot tell what it was. I was
later surprised to know from my neighbour that somebody sold him our

because of this incident.

open for him the gate. On 18th/9/2023, Director Ssiswaala came to the school
in the afternoon in a pick up and sent me to town to bring him some parcel
from Kampala city centre. The person I had gone to see delayed but came. I
then returned to school, gave him his parcel and returned to the guard duties
at the gate. Director stayed in the school till late in the night. I was worried.
He then left at about 10:00pm. He had something quite big like a table.
Maybe it was a table but I could not see it well. I decided to call my new boss,
madam Mugimbi but she did not answer my call. The next day. I informed
her.
I later heard that the big generator was missing from the school. I went to
check in its cage and it was indeed missing. I have never seen Director
Ssiswaala at the school again since that date. Police arrested man I do not
know with the generator.
That is all that I wish to state.

The above stated particulars and address are mine. I wish to state that I am
a daughter to the late Girado Senki of Madirisa Nansana. My father died on
the 06/09/2023. He left us with instructions that the land we are using
belongs to our grandmother, who is his mother. He said we should use the
land but not sell it. We are six children, me, Chacha, Chaga, Chichi, Oke,
Baliks and All the six of us have built houses on the said land. This year 2024
in July, our brother Chaga Mapeera surprised us that by claiming that our
father gave him the land where we have a coffee plantation. We asked him
if he has any documents to prove what he was claiming and he said, “NO”.
So, today 10/9/2024 at about 11:30 hours while I was in my house, Chaga
came and told me to vacate my house as he was going to demolish it and
take over the land. When I refused, he threatened to beat me. He threw a
spear me but I was a distance away and I dodged it and it fell on the ground.

Page 17 of 21
I run away and went to the chairman LC1’s home and reported the what
happened. We returned to the scene with the chairman and Chaga showed
us some documents that he claimed showed that my father gave him the
land. The chairman advised me to immediately report the case to police and
that is why I came. The documents Chaga had he remained with them. What
I know is that the documents regarding the ownership of this house are with
my uncle Yoweri who is a brother to my father.
That is all that I wish to state.

States
The above stated particulars and address are mine. I wish to state that I am
the Investigating Officer in this case. I received this case file on the
10/9/2024 from Commandant Land Protection. I booked out and went to
the scene in Madirisa Nansana. I had recorded statements from witnesses at
the scene. I was informed that Chaga Mapeera, who is a brother to the
complainant led the group and came back to the station. On the 10/9/2022,
I received a call from the complainant that the suspect returned with other
people at the scene carying spears machettes, and hammers among others.
That I booked out with a 999-patrol car and when we reached the scene, I
arrested 3 suspects including Chaga Mapeera. I interviewed Mapeera who
said he was given that land in writing by his late Girado Senki. He said that
he had now sold the land to a one Bokilo and that he wanted to create a road
to Bokilo’s home. I recorded a statement from their mother who lives in the
same area. Their mother said that her deceased husband had never given the
said land to any of his children but instead they used the land as a family.
Other family members also disputed the written agreement produced by
Chaga. So, I retrieved the written agreement, exhibited and marked it “RK1”.
The agreement was taken to the Department of forensics and with other
sample signatures and handwriting of the deceased using PF17 and a report
came out from examiner of questioned documents concluding that there

were major variations suggesting that the agreement was not written by the
deceased father. The copy of the report is attached to the case file. So we
confirmed Chaga had a fake written agreement and was not given any land.

SUSPECT’S PLAIN STATEMENT
That the above are my true particulars and I wish to state that I am the
biological son to the late Girad Senki. My father had 17 children, 11 of
whom have passed on. In the year 2010 while my father was still alive,
he called me and gave me land in writing in the presence of the late
Petua Kimani and Absalom who had gone to work in Iraq. The land
had a clear demarcation and I have been living there since my father
died in 2023 and my sister Truth and brother Boka came and started
staying on the land. A few months ago, my siblings started fighting
me on the land. I decided to sell it to Bokilo and move away without
informing them. Bokilo asked me to remove the houses because he
needed to clear his access. When I told my sister, she threatened to
harm me. On the 10/9/2024, I went back with some people to help me
demolish the buildings but unfortunately police came and arrested us
and we were brought to Katwe police station.
