Authorities allege that between 2023 and 2025, the suspects, through transactions conducted at Centenary Bank’s Masaka Branch in Masaka District, intentionally concealed or disguised the true ownership of UGX 500 million.
Investigators say the suspects knew, or had reason to suspect, that the funds were proceeds of crime.
Fr Ssekabira has been in custody of military authorities since the beginning of the month.
His detention initially drew public attention after reports circulated that he had been abducted by unknown security operatives.
The Uganda People’s Defence Forces later confirmed that Fr Ssekabira was in their custody, stating that he was being held to assist with investigations related to suspected financial crimes. UPDF officials said the detention was lawful and linked to ongoing inquiries.
Authorities say investigations are continuing, with other suspects named in the case yet to be arrested or produced before court.
