Isaac Okello, a security guard attached to Saracen security, was discovered selling bullets.
According to reports, Okello contacted a one Fred Okumu, the operations manager of Jet Tech Security Company, on Monday and informed him that he had bullets for sale and was willing to offer them at the lowest price possible.
Okumu is said to have instead decided to alert Ntinda Police, who advised him to invite Okello in disguise as a willing buyer.
Okumu asked Okello to come to their offices in the Minister’s village in Ntinda. Reports indicate that Okello came with a bag that had different ammunition.
Okello agreed to sell the bullets at Shs 2000 each. However, shortly after, police swung into action and arrested Okello.
He was discovered with 31 bullets, 19 for a Sub-Machine Gun (SMG), three for a pistol, one for a Mark4, two for a greener gun, and two for pump action.
Also, Okello’s bag contained eight SMG magazines, three Semi-Automated Rifle-SAR magazines, and breaking implements that included a grinder, two pliers, two screwdrivers, a hammer, two chisels, a metal cutter, and a rowing machine.
Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, confirmed Okello’s arrest, saying that efforts to establish the exact source of the weapons are underway.
He will face charges of unlawful possession of government stores.
