A police officer by the names of Farooq Nabwiiso is currently disgraced and eating dust after his bosses and supervisors ganged up and subjected him to persecution simply because he stood firm against tycoons who were enchroaching on a wetland near Kajjansi.
With force service number 33719/DC, Farooq Nabwiso had served UPF for 14 years until the incident happened and disrupted his service. He had been deployed as the environmental protection police focal officer at Kajjansi Police Station where he diligently went about his work.
His woes started in 2022 when he responded to calls by members of Wakiso wetland users association and confronted and stopped a businessman who was carrying out sand and clay mining on the Kajjansi swamp. He made it clear that such sand mining activity was illegal and had to be stoopped.
The enchroacher who was carrying out illegal sand and clay mining at the Kaga wetland turned against him; arrogantly making it clear that he was unstoppable because he had already facilitated and paid off a group of more senior police officers led by a one Alex.
The illegal clay miner also claimed he had been cleared by officials from the UPF’s regional environmental office and named several officers who were on his monthly payroll. He assured Nabwiiso these are guys way more senior than him meaning that he should back off if he still wanted his life and job.
The rogue-minded more senior police officers later on engaged in retribution against Nabwiiso who they accused of reporting them to the regional environmental protection office. He also reported the matter to the Water Ministry headquarters in Kampala where the environmental police work is coordinated from.
That is how the Commandant CP Enock Abaine became keen in the matter before subsequently becoming too busy and abandoning the same. AIP Isingooma and Byabajje initially got interested in the matter but later on abandoned it too. Later on, Nabwiiso was controversially transfered before being arrested and charged with defying a lawful transfer yet the same transfer had been stayed years earlier.
Several big people in the force ganged up against Nabwiiso who got frustrated and considered applying for early retirement but as the same was being processed, his name was deleted from the Uganda police force Payroll.
As per now, poor Nabwiiso whose children don’t go to school anymore lives a destitute life as he struggles to be reinstated back on the police payroll. He has been advised to back off and go live the rest of his life in poverty because people who got his name deleted are a powerful cabal some of whose members even want him dead.
