A captain in Uganda’s Special Forces Command (SFC), Yonasan Tibenderana, has been remanded to Luzira Prison after being accused of soliciting a 200,000 Shilling bribe. Tibenderana allegedly obtained the money from a woman under the false promise of expediting the issuance of her National Identity Card. The 35-year-old appeared before Nakawa grade one magistrate Rhoda Achom Ochom on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Further details surrounding the case were not immediately available. The incident raises concerns about potential corruption within the Ugandan security forces. The case is now proceeding within the Ugandan judicial system.
