KAMPALA. Police authorities have redeployed former Kampala Central Division police commander, Aaron Baguma, a year after he was exonerated of murder charges by Director of Public Prosecution.
In a redeployment message released on Friday, SP Baguma has been deployed in the private security and fire arms department under the directorate of Operation commanded by AIGP Asuman Mugenyi.
At the rank of Superintendent of Police (SP), Baguma was accused of failing to rescue businesswoman Donah Betty Katushabe, who had been kidnapped, confined and tortured to death at Pine Car Bond belonging to tycoon Muhammad Ssebuwufu in October 2015.
Mr Baguma and other senior officers had been accused of murder, kidnap neglect of duty and discrediting the police image.
Soon after DPP had acquitted Baguma of participating in Katushabe’s murder, drawing both relief and condemnation, he asked the then Inspector General of Police, Gen Kale Kayihura, to halt his deployment for at least six months.
Daily Monitor spoke to him after his release and this is what he said:
Aaron Baguma: Prison life with men he arrested
His heart almost skipped a beat as reality of sharing a cell with those he had hunted sunk in
