Yesterday night, news made rounds that Mityana Municipality MP, Francis Zaake had been released on bond but later it was found out that the legislator was yet to gain freedom as he remained in detention at Special Investigation Unit (SIU) in Kireka.
While launching the 2019 Annual Crime Report, Inspector General of Police Martin Okoth Ochola said Zaake is still ‘safely’ in the hands of police because he arrogantly refused to sign the police bond.
Ochola said there is no way he can be released without him signing on the bond forms. He warned leaders against spearheading law breaking.
Zaake’s lawyers led by Bugiri Member of Parliament Asuman Basalirwa watered-down Ochola’s claims saying his client could not sign anything when his eyes cannot open.
Nakawa court yesterday ordered Zaake be released unconditionally but police instead drove him to Mityana Chief Magistrate’s Court. The court also ordered police to take the youthful MP who was unwell to hospital.
