Beat FM's longtime presenter Mark Mukunja of Endobeso's ex-wife and musician Amelia Nambala has been captured and arrested for possesion of 48 different passports whose owners are untraceable.
According to info Blizz Uganda received, External Security Organisation (ESO) and the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) have joined the probe of local singer, Ameria Nambala.
She was arrested from Kampala Sheraton Hotel on Friday by plain-clothed security personnel from the Special Forces Command and Internal Security Organisations in possession of 48 passports for Ugandan females.
Now, Crime intelligence and investigators at Kampala Central Police Station –CPS where Nambala is being held since Friday, says CMI and ESO have joined the probe purposely to establish where the owners of the passports are.
The Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, says Nambala has failed to present the owners of the passports she claims she was taking for a trip to Turkey. Security agencies have vowed to keep her in custody as a file of human trafficking is being prepared unless she produces the owners of the passports.
“We have asked her to produce the owners but she seems not to know where they are. These are genuine passports and owners must be produced. We must know whether something wrong was done about them or not. We opened a file on SD 58/19/2/2021,” Owoyesigyire said.
According to security sources, the suspect would have been slapped with charges of forgery if the passports were fake. The investigators have so preferred charges related to human trafficking, which can change at any time should security agencies establish that anything wrong was done to the owners.
“We are four security agencies in this case and we have orders to ensure we establish what happened to all the 48 people. You can’t be taking people for a trip and you fail to account for them,” a security source said.
Police sources have revealed that they received intelligence information on Thursday evening that a woman was in possession of several passports belonging to different individuals for unknown reasons.
