However, Faisal Katende, formerly working with the Police Flying Squad, James Magada and Amon Kwarisiima from Crime Intelligence were granted bail.

Prosecution alleges that on October 25, 2013 at Kamengo in Mpigi District on Masaka Road, the suspects while in unlawful possession of firearms and grenades, ordinarily a monopoly of defence forces conveyed Lt Mutabaazi without his consent to the Republic of Rwanda.

Prosecution further alleges that on the same day, the group also conveyed a one Jackson Karemeera also known as Ndinga.

Lt Mutabaazi a former guard in President Paul Kagame’s Republican guard was allegedly kidnapped in Kampala by security personnel and handed over to his home government. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
