Police hunts drunken cop
Written by Zurah NakabugoA police officer attached to the logistics department at Namanve police post is on the run after escaping from custody.
Leonard Allan Dakofe ran away from the Professional Standards Unit (PSU) in Bukoto, where he had been taken to record a statement after being found drunk while on duty.
According to police sources, Dakofe's drunken state was detected by his boss Godfrey Bangirana, the director of logistics and engineering at Jinja Road police station, when the former delivered some documents.
"Bangirana ordered PSU officers to arrest Dakofe for reporting on duty while drunk," the source said.
"However, as he was recording a statement at PSU with an investigative officer, he asked to first go for lunch as he was feeling hungry and couldn't talk properly."
Dakofe seized the opportunity to disappear. Emilian Kayima, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, confirmed Dakofe's disappearance but said he will be rearrested any time.
PSU handles complaints from the public and any other misconduct by the police officers.
