    Let Mr. Abid Alarm face the law because even me one of his managers and some Kasanda flying squad officials arrested me in such a brutal ways accusing of burning his tractor which I didn’t know. And in 10 days i was in police cells I was forced to do a false statement on slaps, punches and gun point by Afande Wamala, OC CID Kasanda and other police officers to a cause a man by the names I would not say here who was also arrested. They even had to promise to give me 20millions if I testify that I was sent by that person they were accusing falsely which I denied and was sent to kaweri prison for more than 1 month and later got out on a bail. Abid has two managers who’re real bad people that I can testify on it even though am called to do so plus all the Kasanda CID office. I may say they are all corrupt. Thanks Gen. Tumwine but if you don’t follow up he will be released and those that made him get inside will serve the consistencies
