He was arrested on Tuesday following a tip-off from residents. During the arrest, security personnel say they recovered two bullets. They also got several documents indicating the schools, government installations, and other facilities of their planned attacks.
According to police, Nyanza was recruited into the ADF at the age of five years. He served in different units before being elevated to the position of chief cook for the front-line combatants, for the past 20 years.
The suspect also says that his commanders whom he declined to name deployed him and two others on a spying mission in Uganda for the past three years. He says that they later settled in Kasese district during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Later, they relocated to Mbarara City, Mukono district, before moving to Jinja City. This is where they were planning terror activities. He said they had planned an attack in Jinja City during the festive season and then proceeded to Busia.
One of the residents who preferred anonymity said that Nyanza pretended to be a lunatic. He was arrested while taking pictures of different buildings along Iganga Road, Southern Division, in Jinja City. He was also found in possession of an unspecified amount of money and a mobile phone.
The LCI Chairperson, Paul Batambuze said that the area is congested with dozens of roadside food vendors, bars, and lodges. This gives room for wrong elements to live within the community undetected.
On Tuesday, the Police and the ADF rebel revisited the different areas along Iganga Road. This is where he pitched camp for one week pretending to be a beggar.
The Kiira regional police spokesperson, James Mubi confirms the arrest of Nyanza but declined to divulge details. He said that a detailed press release will be availed after thorough investigations by police and UPDF.
On Monday, the police released photographs of three wanted terror suspects including Lavara. The other two are Ismail Mutegule and Abdallah Kala.
This was after two blasts went off simultaneously at around 9 pm at Kikubamutwe in Kabalagala and another in Nabweru in Nansana Municipality on Saturday.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
