While speaking on NBS TV's Morning Breeze today morning, the police spokesperson, Fred Enanga pledged to release the CCTV footage
"In the case of Nagirinya, we have some footage that we are going to share with the public so that they can probably help us identify some of the suspects. The public appreciates the work we do as the police. We have really tried our best," he said in part.
Enanga added that Police condoled with the family of Nagirinya after the painful loss of their daughter under such circumstances.
He said crime is a society problem which will always be there.
"Crime is a societal problem and it's always going to be there but we need to ensure that we have good systems in countering these cases that arise," he noted.
Nagirinya, 28, was waylaid by unknown people while accessing the gate at her rented residence in Busega.
Together with her driver Ronald Kitayimbwa, they were bundled into Nagirinya’s car, a Toyota Spacio, registration number UBA570V and taken away amidst wails from Nagirinya.
Enanga said that Police got information in their control room about Nagirinya's kidnap and communicated the same to their stand by teams who responded in affirmative.
"Our control room got information and communicated to the stand by teams but sometimes tracking a phone using GPS is hard. One of the suspects, a boda boda rider is the one who led us to where the car had been abandoned. We believe he has more knowledge and we have left the investigators to do their job.
On the rising cases of kidnaps, Enanga said the rising cases of kidnap around the country act as a wake up call to police to up their game in some areas.
He said that they have registered 50 cases of kidnap since the beginning of the year.
