Ex-Police Constable Arrested for Theft and Desertion
Ahabwe Michael, a name once synonymous with the badge, now echoed with betrayal. The Kampala constable, entrusted to uphold the law, had become a fugitive, vanishing into the city's underbelly after pilfering a seized motorcycle. His victim, Walusimbi Samuel, left with nothing but a gaping hole where his livelihood used to be.
For months, Ahabwe evaded capture, a phantom flitting through the shadows of Mbarara. He sought refuge in the supposed anonymity of a private security firm, a cruel twist of irony for a man who had sworn to serve and protect. But the serpent's nature proved impossible to shed. Just as quickly as he donned the uniform of a security guard, he turned his hand to dismantling the very infrastructure he was meant to safeguard.
His 18-day charade crumbled when the metallic clang of his vandalism echoed through the Ugandan night. The authorities, alerted to his presence, swooped in, their sirens a grim melody announcing the fall of a fallen angel.
