KWANIA, UGANDA – November 23, 2025 : Police and other security agencies in Kwania District have apprehended eleven suspected criminals following a swift late-night operation conducted in Aduku Town Council on November 22, 2025. The operation, initiated under the direct instruction of Deputy Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Aturu Abraham, took place between approximately 10:25 PM and 11:00 PM.
The suspects are currently in Police custody, with their cases registered under SD REF: 40/22/11/2025 and 41/22/11/2025.
The individuals arrested, along with their ages and villages, are as follows:
Ocen Emmanuel – 31 yrs, Ogobi cell
Ogwang Emmy – 21 -year- old, of Atakara Village
Buga Christ – 19 yrs, Alany Village
Obuga Endrew – 31 -year-old of Apire Village
Olila Haggai –a 21 -year-old suspect if Akaidebe Cell.
Ogwal Joshua – 25 yrs, Apire Village
Odit Jonathan – 18 yrs, Atakara Village
Odongo Ivan – 18 yrs, Acula Village
Ogwal Habram – 17 yrs, Acula Village (notably found with blood stains on his white vest shirt)
Ebong Daniel – 23 yrs, Amuli Village.
The arrest of Ogwal Habram, a 17-year-old from Acula Village, is particularly significant as he was found with visible blood stains on his white vest shirt, a detail that is expected to be crucial in the ongoing investigations.
Deputy RDC Aturu Abraham lauded the collaborative efforts of the Police and security agencies, emphasizing the commitment to rid Aduku Town Council and the broader Kwania District of criminal elements.
However, the arrests come amidst broader concerns raised by authorities regarding the justice system’s handling of repeat offenders. It has been noted that “other hard core criminals who were remanded are being bailed giving them strong hearted to continue with criminality,” a factor that leaders believe undermines efforts to maintain peace and order within the community.
Investigations into the activities of the arrested individuals are ongoing, and they are expected to be formally charged once inquiries are complete. Local authorities reiterate their resolve to combat crime and ensure the safety and security of residents in Kwania District.
