Police are hunting for a notorious thief who has thrived for a long time on corrupting the police and judicial officials in perpetuating his criminal escapades. He is famously known in different parts of the country as Haruna (his other names are not known). Many Ugandans have suffered his wrath with impunity making them think that he is very dangerous and invincible to contend with.

The police say that he recently stole a family’s plough and it was recovered at his premise and many times he uses his “influence” to distort evidence. It is said that whenever he is arrested he uses some of the staff in the DPP’s office to withhold the file.

When people vigorously take on the state attorney to establish the whereabouts of the files, if the file is in Gulu the state attorney claims it is in Kampala.

It is said that when the DPP’s office is pressurized to produce the file on several occasions it is found out that the state attorney had stated in the file that the case in question has no merit even when there was strong evidence to support the claim because the exhibit was recovered.

When the cases against Haruna appear in court sometimes it is said that the files are still missing. But one wonders how can the state explain to court the circumstances under which an exhibit can be tendered in court while the file is missing?

The sources in Uganda police say that Haruna is currently missing and a big reward waits the person who will help detectives in his arrest, prosecution and the incarceration of this “hoodlum” who had for a long time benefited from “impunity.”

Tears rolled down the faces of a woman and her daughter when the police medical report revealed that the man who raped them on Wednesday was HIV positive.

The thief broke into their room on Wednesday and tied her on the bed she was sleeping on and raped her. The thief then turned to her 10-year-old daughter and gave her two times as the terrified mother looked on.
