{Police in Budaka have arrested the district crime preventers coordinator on allegations of extorting money from fellow crime preventers in exchange for motorcycles that police procured for them.
\n}<\/p>\n
Mr Micheal Odongo, the Bukedi regional police spokesperson, confirmed the incident and said the accused was arrested on Tuesday following complaints from 13 sub-county crime preventers co-ordinators over extortion of more than Shs700,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cUpon hearing that the police had delivered 13 new motorcycles meant to be distributed to them [crime preventers], he started demanding from each sub-county co-ordinator Shs70,000. This, however, forced a section of them to report the matter to police and we swiftly arrested him for obtaining money by false pretence,\u201d Mr Odongo said.<\/p>\n
Mr Odongo said the suspect was assigned to identify but not to recruit sub-county coordinators of crime preventers, but he decided to extort money from them.<\/p>\n
He added that the suspect would be taken to court to answer charges of obtaining money by false pretence and forgery after getting advice from the state attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
