Woman Arrested for Assaulting Officer as Police Speak out on Mbuya Eviction

The Uganda Police Force has denied claims of an illegal eviction in Mbuya, saying the exercise at Plots 55 and 56, Ismael Road, was carried out on 13 July 2026 under a lawful court process.

Police said the High Court judgment of 28 February 2024 granted vacant possession, and that officers from Jinja Road Division were only deployed to maintain law and order.

Police also said Agaba Prossy was arrested after allegedly assaulting the officer leading the team, and that no demolition took place in the presence of police.

“The Force reiterates that its involvement in the matter was limited to providing security and ensuring that the court-sanctioned process was conducted peacefully and lawfully,” said SP Kawala Racheal, PRO Kampala Metropolitan Police.
