Police were shocked by the lavish life Boda Boda 2010 group lived in their hideouts in Kabowa and Wakaliga where they were uprooted after a well-thought out swoop by military and police Sunday morning.
Police were tipped off of the hideouts and how they were linked to the group who are top suspects in the brutal killing of Case Clinic accountant, Francis Ekalungar whose body was burnt to ashes.
Among those netted is Muzamiru Mawa, a driver of Boda Boda 2010 boss Abdallah Kitata together with other two unidentified men of Congolese descent. Also nabbed by CMI is the untouchable Boda Boda 2010 boss Abdallah Kitata among six people found in his apartment.
In the same home, police recovered the deceased’s ride, a Toyota Premio of which suspects had already changed its number plate. Sources say they were in the company of chics who fled when police and army stormed the hideout. Police also recovered used number plates and army caps, hammers, machetes and pangas.
According to police sources, Francis was either trailed by the killers and abducted along the way to home or infused by the suspects and car taken. Boda Boda 2010 has for long been accused of several cases in the city, including clobbering opposition leader Dr. Kiiza Besigye’s supporters during campaigns.
