Police has detained 23 employees of National Housing Corporation for allegedly torturing and causing death of one person.

National Housing Corporation is currently involved in a land dispute with local residents of Namungona over proper land ownership.

Ibin Senkumbi the Kampala metropolitan police spokesperson says the employees illegally arrested and locked up Isaac Lubega and Godfrey Kasekende in their offices.

They later beat them up and severely injured the duo accusing them of inciting residents not to vacate the land.

Lubega later died on arrival at Mulago hospital while Kasekende is still undergoing treatment for injuries sustained. Another resident Isaac Nsubuga was reportedly shot on the head by a guard of the same company.

Senkumbi says investigations into the incident are still going on.
