The State House Anti-Corruption Unit, working jointly with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), has arrested and arraigned Kavuuma Ibrahim over a major property fraud case in Kampala.
Kavuuma appeared before the Anti-Corruption Division of the High Court to face charges of forgery, uttering false documents, obtaining money by false pretense, and money laundering.
According to prosecutors, Kavuuma and his accomplices—who remain at large—allegedly orchestrated a fraudulent sale of a house in Bunga. Investigations revealed that on July 15, 2025, the accused used forged documents, including a certificate of title, sale agreements, and transfer forms, to deceive a victim into believing he was the legitimate owner of the property.
Through this scheme, Kavuuma reportedly obtained over USD 205,000 (approximately UGX 740 million) from the unsuspecting buyer. He later went into hiding but was tracked down and arrested by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit.
The Anti-Corruption Court has remanded Kavuuma until October 8, 2025, as investigations continue. Authorities are also pursuing his accomplices and working to recover the stolen funds.
The State House Anti-Corruption Unit reiterated its commitment to fighting fraud and protecting Ugandans from financial crimes, warning that property-related scams remain a major concern in Kampala’s rapidly growing real estate sector.
