Police in Kampala are hunting for one of their officers wanted for murder after he allegedly shot and killed a money lender at Raja chambers along Parliamentary Avenue in Kampala.
Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, Patrick Onyango identified the shooter as Police Constable (PC) Ivan Wabwire and the deceased as Uttam Bandari, a manager at TFS Financial Services.
According to Onyango, Wabwire first came yesterday and met the director of TFS financial services to verify how much he owed the company as the police officer has reportedly been servicing two loans since 2020.
The first loan was coded deducted directly from his salary while the second one was not.
When he came yesterday, they calculated and told him he owed the company Shs2, 130,000 where the suspect said the bank where they are paying his salary from wanted the calculations so that they can offset all the loan and see how they could progress with him.
Onyango explained that he had returned today for further verification and when he was told the amount, he got incensed and reportedly started arguing, dismissing the figure claiming that it was inflated that’s when he started shooting.
After the shooting, PC Wabwire who is currently on the run jumped on a bodaboda bike and rushed to Central Police Station in Kampala where he abandoned the killer gun, an AK47.
The development comes on the backdrop of shootings that left the State Minister for Labour, Col (Rtd) Charles Engolaand prominent vlogger, Ismail Tusuubira alias JjajjaIchuli, aka IsmaOlaxxes.
