He was found driving a car registration No UBF- 472 F. Another more one shirt was hanged on the hind seat. Agaba was intercepted at a checkpoint erected at Spear Motors at Nakawa.

His colleague called Byaruhanga Jackson, a manager of Semax lodges owned by one Mr.Ssemakula Saul, an LC1 Chairperson of Rutete “A” was equally arrested while the mzee they were carrying was set free and continued to Buikwe District.
