Jeff has apparently spearheaded a wave of armed robberies, sexual assaults against women, burglaries, and swash-and-grab attacks, in Nansana Division.
Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson says some of Jeff’s accomplices include robbers like BATE, PADDY, and Kevin. These notorious gang members are all in the Police force’s most-wanted list in the division of Nansana.
“The suspect and others still at large, on 11.03.2022, while armed with pangas attacked Turinawe Robert, a businessman dealing in gas, while heading home with his daughter, Sarah Nuwasiime. They robbed their cash, shs7.5m, and 3 smartphones. They also vandalized his vehicle, before getting away on two bodaboda motorcycles,” Enanga said.
He also revealed that the suspect formerly was a bouncer arrested in 2017 – 2018 in the women murders, in Nansana and Entebbe.
He also found himself behind bars again in 202 for assaulting a police officer. Apparently, he had gone to arrest him for burglary and theft.
“He was tracked down and arrested on 31.03.2022, at 3:30 am at Ochieng ward in Nansana Municipality. Upon search, he was found with two common flagged jackets used in robberies, two black T-shirts labeled security, housebreaking equipment and opium. The arrest of this notorious suspect shows our determination to rid Nansana Division of such actors of violence,” Enanga added.
Furthermore, he asked residents who have fallen victim to gang crimes to come forth. He is asking them to share details with the police as it looks to dismantle this gang.

![[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.
