On October 24, 2024, at approximately 6:00 p.m., Kira Road Police, working closely with local leaders, executed a targeted operation along the Northern Bypass in the Kigoowa 1 and Bukoto 2 areas of Nakawa Division. The Uganda Police Force confirmed this operation through its official X (formerly Twitter) account, noting its purpose as a direct response to rising criminal activities in these areas, particularly drug abuse and theft.
This operation comes after multiple reports from residents about escalating criminal incidents within these neighborhoods. In response, law enforcement intensified its efforts to identify and neutralize criminal hideouts that have become hubs for illegal activities. The coordinated effort successfully led to the apprehension of 21 suspects, underscoring the commitment to addressing security concerns in Nakawa.
In addition to the arrests, authorities also seized marijuana plants and other materials related to the criminal activities being investigated.
