Former Bubulo MP Kipoi to be deported today
KAMPALA.
Former Bubulo Member of Parliament, Tony Nsubuga Kipoi is set to be deported today to face trial in Uganda. He is wanted by the General Court Martial in Uganda to stand trial for treason.
Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said in a tweet that Kipoi will land at Entebbe airport at 10:20am from Botswana where he has been detained since his arrest last month by Botswana authorities.
“Fugitive former Bubulo West MP, Tonny Kipoi Nsubuga is due to be delivered at Entebbe this morning 10.20am from Botswana following negotiations by Uganda’s External Security Organisation (ESO),” Opondo tweeted.
Mr Kipoi who was arrested in the first week of February is accused of having gone around the city masquerading as a witch doctor and defrauding four female victims of more than 290,000 Pula, about (Shs111.6m), between May 2017 and January 20, this year.
The former legislator who jumped bail and fled Uganda while awaiting prosecution for several cases, including treason and theft, is said to have claimed to possess magical powers to multiply money and cast spells for people to get marriage partners and jobs.
Prosecution told court in Botswana that Mr Kipoi had lied to his unsuspecting victims that the power to multiply one’s money could only be got from special wallets that only he, could provide.
