The Police arrested him on Monday (October 24) with a human skull he had wrapped in white clothes and jackets in his house.
Apparently, Mr. Ssentongo has been on the police radars because he had been evicting people from their ‘bibanja’. But according to the DPC of Wakiso police division, Ramadan Tai, Ssentongo has been living in hiding.
“We heard that he brought more thugs to terrorize the residents at night. I informed my men and we surrounded his home at midnight and we found when he was inside his house with some of them,” Tai said.
He also revealed that a few of the thugs managed to escape the police’s arrest but they arrested him. They also searched the house and found a human skeleton.
They also found a room in the house that contained bark clothes and many cultural-related items.
Ssentongo however denied having a gang of people who have been terrorizing the people of Muyomba.
A Muyomba resident who owns 20 acres of land and has tasted Ssentongo’s wrath thanked the police for the arrest.
“Ssentongo and his people took me to Police at Wakiso accusing me of trying to cut off an ear from one of their thugs. They detained me yet the time they were talking about I was out of Uganda. By the time I was released, I found when they had already constructed a house in my land,” the resident said.

![[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.
