The suspended Director of Kampala Capital City Authority in charge of Physical Planning, George Agaba has been remanded to Luzira Prison today evening over murder.

He has been remanded to Luzira after his bodyguard Santos Makmot was charged with similar charges two days back. Makmot was arrested over reported shooting at civilians and killed one male person in the due course on Port Bell road in Luzira.

Agaba reportedly ordered Makmot to shoot at people after KCCA was trying to demolish illegal structures from a road reserve. Agaba who appeared before Nakawa Magistrates Court was not allowed to plead to the charge because the court did not have the powers to hear his plea.

He was remanded to prison by Magistrate Gladys Kamasanyu. He will reappear at the same court on February 8 for mention of his case. The court heard that on January 22, at Port bell, Luzira Agaba and Makmot shot to death a man and seriously injured three others.
