The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU), working with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) of the Uganda Police Force and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), has arraigned Ibrahim Kavuma before the Anti-Corruption Court on charges of forgery, uttering false documents, obtaining money by false pretense, and money laundering.

Kavuma and other accomplices still at large are accused of fraudulently selling a house in Bunga, Makindye Division.

According to prosecution, on July 15, 2025, Kavuma allegedly used forged documents—including a certificate of title, sale agreements, and transfer forms—to deceive a victim into believing he was the legitimate owner of the property.

“As a result of this fraudulent scheme, Kavuma obtained over USD 205,556 (approximately UGX 740 million) from the victim,” said SHACU in a statement.

After the fraud, Kavuma went into hiding but was later tracked down and apprehended. He was produced before the Anti-Corruption Court, which remanded him until October 8, 2025.

SHACU said investigations are ongoing, with efforts underway to recover the stolen funds and apprehend his accomplices.
