Internal Affairs Minister Jeje Odongo has stated that former IGP Kale Kayihura has a case to answer.
About a week ago, Kayihura was picked from his farm in Kashagama, Lyantonde district. He has since been detained at Makindye Military Barracks. Former Flying Squad commander Herbert Muhangi, Lt Col Atwooki Ndahura of Crime Intelligence department and Richard Ndaboine of cyber crimes unit have also been interrogated.
Gen Odongo told reporters in Kampala that it would be laughable if there were no reasons for which Kayihura and other top police officers were arrested and detained.
“It would be preposterous, really preposterous, for me to walk into your house and pick you for no cause at all ,” said Odongo.
“The fact that my colleagues, police officers have been brought in for questioning, presupposes that there is a prema facie problem.”
