Police detain five over masquerading as Kiteezi victims

Police have arrested five people who are accused of posturing as victims of the Kiteezi landfill collapse.

Kampala Capital City Authority landfill in Kateezi, Wakiso District, collapsed on August 10, killing at least 34 people and destroying property.

Mr Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan Area police spokesperson, yesterday said the suspects had been detained at Kiteezi Police Station.

“The suspects... will be soon produced in court. They will be taken to court so that they serve as an example to the rest who may want to take advantage of the situation,” Mr Onyango said.

The suspects, according to Mr Onyango, had taken advantage of the situation and were receiving aid.
