Speaking during an interview, Gen. Nalweyiso, the highest ranked female officer in the military history of Uganda, confirmed that indeed Sipapa is one of the fiercest thieves with a gang of colleagues, who have been robbing citizens with no remorse.
“Sipapa is a thief. What’s worse, he uses the NRM association to commit crimes. President Museveni shouldn’t tolerate such characters,” Nalweyiso said in an interview.
“I have been trailing him for some time. He has a group of over 30 people who go to people’s homes to steal valuables, like laptops, and screens. I am among the people who worked hard to ensure his security is withdrawn. How can a thug have security,” she added.
Gen Nalweyiso further revealed how she had ordered the Policemen who were providing security for Sipapa to withdraw.
Sipapa is currently behind bars;
Last week on Friday, the Makindye Magistrates Court remanded Sipapa, together with his bummy wife, Shamirah Nakiyemba, to Luzira Prison until 19th September. Sipapa was charged with six counts of aggravated robbery, alongside Shamirah, a designer.
The court heard that Sipapa and Nakiyemba, and others still at large, on the night of 29th August 2022 at Bunga, Kawuku Makindye Division in Kampala District, robbed six South Sudanese nationals of different items and cash.
One of the victims, Jacob Arok Mul, was robbed of USD429,000 (about UGX1.6 billion), two mobile phones, an iPhone laptop, silver blue in colour valued at USD3,200, a Samsung, and a Flat Screen TV 75 inches valued at USD4,000.
