In February this year, the Police Disciplinary Court convicted Mr Nanoka alongside eight others after they were found guilty of overseeing the beating of Dr Kizza Besigye’s supporters in July 2016.
The same court demoted Mr Nanoka to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police, although it is understood that he still holds his rank of Superintendent of Police.
