The territorial police in Nansana have in custody a notorious gang leader by the name Lubowa Geofrey aka Jeff.

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.
