In Uganda, a man by the name of Sulaiman Mkanda was arrested by the Kampa Police for allegedly carrying a fake Police warrant Card.
The details on the card read D/AIP Byaruhanga Sulaiman which he tried using to rob a Boda Boda rider.
It is alleged that at around midnight on April 19, 2022, Sulaiman Mkanda who was on a motorcycle being ridden by another man stopped an oncoming motorcycle at Namungona Zone, pulled out a fake police warrant card to prove to the rider that he was a police officer and begun questioning him why he was speeding.
The rider identified as Abdul Bukenya was shaken and allowed Mkanda to remove the ignition key. However, in the process, our patrollers led by Oc Namungona arrived and Mkanda threw away the warrant card plus the ignition key and took off. The patrollers pursued and arrested him after a serious struggle,” said Kampala metropolitan deputy police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire.
The suspect was taken to Old Kampala Police station where he is currently detained.
