TheSpy Uganda has learnt that celebrated city journo Ronald Gold Nahabwe, a reporter with The Capital Times news, has Monday morning been arrested by the team of detectives led by Grace Akullo, the Director of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Directorate (CIID), at Kibuli.
According to our sources, Nahabwe, a renowned investigative reporter, was arrested from his home in Bakuli, Kampala by detectives who had been trailing him for several days.
However, although the police are yet to reveal why he was actually arrested and the charges lodged against him, we have separately learnt that the main reason he was arrested is because of his continued reporting about the multibillion scandals officials at the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) are allegedly involved in.
It should be noted that TheSpy Uganda has in the recent past been extensively unearthing the rot at the Agency, which involved allegations of gross abuse of government funds worth billions of shillings among other scandals.
However, Nahabwe’s reporting seems to have rubbed some officials at REA the wrong way and it is these elements that are suspected to have masterminded his arrest.
At the time of filing this article, Nahabwe had been whisked off to an unknown detention centre by his captors and the police hadn’t yet issued a statement about his arrest.
We have however, understood a few minutes ago that the bulky scribe has now been dropped at CIID Headquarters in Kibuli and currently under going ‘grilling’.
