The bodyguard of National Unity Platform leader Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has been remanded to Luzira Prison on charges of malicious damage on the police car that came to pick him at his place of work in Rubaga, Kampala city suburb.
Mr Jamshid Kavuma and three others were arraigned at court yesterday and remanded until next week to answer for the same charges at his lawyers scamper for him to be bailed from prison.
Mr George Musisi, principal lawyer in the case said, “We have managed to produce him in courts of law and what we are waiting is to have him get the justice that he deserves. He was remanded but that is not enough even when we are convinced that we pressure those who had been holding him for the last 32 days to get him to police,” Mr Musisi said.
On Wednesday this week, Kavuma was dumped at Old Kampala Police Station after a month of being held incommunicado. He was picked up on November 5, 2022 by security operatives casually dressed and some on uniform in a drone.
“We can confirm that Jamshid and three others have been taken to Old Kampala police Station, and they have been charged with resisting arrest and damaging the police car when they were being arrested,’’-Benjamin Katana one of the lawyers in the case said in an interview shortly after Kavuma was released.
According to Mr Katana, Kavuma was shot in the leg but he’s recovering by the time he was released from Chieftaincy for Military Intelligence (CMI).
Last week lawyers filed a habeas corpus and on Friday the judge postponed the matter this week on Tuesday but he said he had gone for burial and when contacted today he said he was still consulting the CMI.
