General Isa
A Ugandan man who has been claiming to be a general in the army, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), has been arrested for conning foreign investors of billions.
The arrest of General Isa has been confirmed by Col Chris Magezi, the military aide to Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Col Magezi said that the man had been using the identity of General Isa to fleece unsuspecting foreign investors of their money.
Genral Isa is expected to face trial in the courts of law, added Col Magezi.
“The public is hereby informed that the notorious conman here below who calls himself ‘General Isa’ has been arrested by the security services,” said Magezi.
“He has scammed many foreign investors of billions of shillings by pretending to be a UPDF General. He will be prosecuted in the courts of law accordingly.”
There have been several cases of investors being conned by well connected security and political officials in Uganda. President Museveni even set up a unit to protect investors from fraudulent activities.
Months ago, Ugandan fraudsters claiming to be Museveni’s close relatives reportedly conned foreign gold investors, while a top lawyer was also on the spot for conning gold investors of their money. (See Details Here, There and Over There).
