Prominent Kampala land broker Muhammad Kamoga has been taken into custody following a court order tied to a long-standing land dispute involving missing property titles.
Kamoga appeared before Deputy Registrar Christine Namutebi of the High Court’s Land Division on Thursday, where he was directed to produce over 30 missing land titles within seven days. The titles are linked to a contested 8-acre plot located in Bugabo-Garuga, Entebbe.
According to court records, Kamoga was supposed to deliver a total of 45 land titles to a group of 20 claimants, led by Andrew Nganda Bugingo, under a consent judgment reached in 2018. However, since that ruling, Kamoga allegedly failed to follow through, prompting his arrest by court bailiffs on Wednesday.
During the hearing, Kamoga represented by lawyer Moses Karungu initially claimed to have submitted the required documents but later conceded he only possessed one valid land title. He requested additional time to produce the remainder.
Kamoga stated that he had partially complied with the court’s order by handing over a title for the 8-acre parcel to Bugingo’s lawyer, Zack Olum. However, Bugingo expressed frustration, calling Kamoga a habitual fraudster and accusing him of delaying justice through evasive tactics. Bugingo also alleged that several land titles had been irregularly transferred into Kamoga’s name, leaving the rightful owners without recourse.
The court has now ordered Kamoga to reappear on May 5, 2025, with the remaining documents.
This incident is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Kamoga. He previously avoided arrest in March 2025 over fraud allegations connected to a 200-acre land deal in Garuga, Bukaya. In another ongoing case, businessman Fredrick Kwatakunsawo Ssengooba is suing Kamoga in the Commercial Court, demanding over one billion shillings in compensation for land he claims Kamoga unlawfully transferred into his own name.
As pressure mounts, all eyes are on the upcoming court date to see whether Kamoga will finally deliver the disputed titles and face further accountability for his actions.
