ARONDA SHIELDS NRA ARMED ROBBERS.
In early 1990s, an External Security Organisation (ESO) Officer, Hamphrey Babukika murdered Congolese gold dealers who were transiting through Uganda and dumped their bodies in Kibimba Irrigation Scheme. This was after he had robbed them of huge amounts of Gold in their posession. The then ESO Director General, Kahinda Otafiire vehemently defended and protected Humphrey Babukiika. The issue died a natural death.
1994 there was rampant robberies of goods from Congo transiting through Uganda and destined for the Kenyan Port of Mombasa for export. The main target was coffee that was orinating from easter Congo areas of Beni and Butembo and would transit through western Uganda, Kampala and then exit through the eastern border posts of Malaba and Busia on the way to Mombasa in Kenya. An organised racket of armed NRA junior officers and using official Military Police Land Rovers would ambush these trucks while in transit around Nyekongolero in Mbarara and hijack them. The truck drivers would be tied with ropes, blindfolded and driven through Kampala to the bushes in Luwero where they would be tied to trees and left there. The trucks would then be driven to Kampala and the coffee offloaded at a store in the Ruzira suburb. Later, the empty trucks would be driven and around different locations in Kampala more especially around Lugogo Bypass. The Congolese truck drivers would be found and freed by locals in Luwero.
The practice went on undetected for quite sometime. However, the Intelligence Officer of Military Police at Makindye, Lt Denis Bataringaya got some clues and innitiated investigations. At the time, Aronda was the Deputy Director of Military Intelligence (D/DMI). He suppervised the said investigations but unfortunately they revealed that the perpetrators were 'home boys' and that the coffee was ending up in the coffee stores belonging to a top NRA General. The implicated NRA Junior officers were the likes of then Lt Segamwenge (a Hima), Lt Memory Bariyo (a Muhororo) and a few others with a similar profile. Some civillians too were arrested and among them a one Mbakuratiire. The figure head DMI, Fred Tolit was kept unaware of this case but Museveni was fully briefed about the findings.
The case was swept under the carpet and the suspects freed without any sort of criminal proceeding being instituted. The implicated junior officers were redeployed and promoted and are now Senior NRA officers. Segamwenge featured alot in the Kisangani fiasco where he was a Commanding Officer at the rank of a Lt Colnel. Shortly after the officer who had uncovered that high level armed robbery, Lt Bataringaya Denis mysteriously died in an alleged boat accident on Lake Victoria while he was serving under the Anti-smuggling Unit.
INFORMATION IS POWER.
