Shaban Senfuka, one of the seven suspects granted bail a couple of hours earlier was rearrested as he returned home, at the Nakawa Junction.
Grade one magistrate Noah Sajjabi had in the morning released 7 of 14 people accused of killing former police spokesperson AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi, his driver Godfrey Wambewa and bodyguard Kenneth Erau
These were freed on a Shs. 50 Million Non-cash bail each.
Immediately after the release, Police intensified security around the court, as the excited Senfuka addressed reporters on their ordeal in detention.
He told reporters he was wrongfully arrested, noting, “I am free now because God cannot be bribed.”
“I am also praying for our friends who were committed to High Court to be released like us,” he added.
But as he left the court premises, he was intercepted by men in plain cloths and forced in a waiting private vehicle and driven off.
Magistrate Sajjabi released the seven suspects on grounds that they were held on remand for over six months and that the law dictates that after this period, one should be released on bail.
“These people first appeared before this court on 21st of April 2017 and the six months have already elapsed without being committed for trial,” he ruled.
The seven released today are Shanan Senfuka who is back in detention; Hassan Tusiime, Sheikh Musa Brenda, Ibrahim Kisa, Sheikh Majidu Ojegere and Hamiidu Magambo.

![[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.
