A notorious suspected killer and operative with Internal Security Organisation (ISO) Paddy Sserunjogi, aka Sobi has been killed in a land wrangle in Gomba District, police sources have said.
It’s alleged that at around 12:30pm in Kibaale village, Kigumba parish, Maddu sub county in Gomba district, a group of around 50 people armed with sticks, machetes and spears attacked another group of people who claimed a piece of land said to be owned by one Kalisa.
A fight ensued and ended with the death of Sobi who was leading one of the groups. Several others were reportedly left injured.
“The land in question was bought by Kalisa at Shs100 million but paid only Shs20 million in 2007. It’s claimed that he bought from a wrong person. Another group of people who claimed to be the children and grandchildren of the now late Paul Kibi led by one Deborah Nagadiya and Barton Kiwewa emerged with land titles claiming the same land belongs to them. They went up to court and before it’s sorted, the second group also brought other thugs from Kisenyi in Kampala to stay on that land as they cleared the unwanted grass,” said Katonga region police spokesperson, SP Majid Karim.
