Security agencies have arrested a well-known fraudster who has been masquerading as a senior officer in the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and defrauding foreign investors of large sums of money.

The suspect, who operated under the false identity of ‘General Isa’, was apprehended following joint operations by security agencies after several complaints were filed against him.

He is accused of swindling billions of shillings from investors by posing as a UPDF general and promising them access to lucrative military-linked contracts and business deals.

Confirming the arrest, Colonel Chris Magezi issued a strong fraud alert warning the public against falling prey to such impersonators.

“Fraud alert: The public is hereby informed that the notorious conman here below who calls himself ‘General Isa’ has been arrested by the security services. He has scammed many foreign investors of billions of shillings by pretending to be a UPDF General. He will be prosecuted in the courts of law accordingly,” Col. Magezi stated.

Sources within the security apparatus say the suspect used forged documents, military attire, and fake connections to high-ranking officials to gain the confidence of his victims mostly foreign nationals seeking to invest in Uganda.

Investigations are ongoing, and authorities have encouraged anyone who may have been defrauded by the impostor to report to the nearest police or military intelligence offices.

The UPDF has reiterated its commitment to protecting the integrity of the institution and ensuring that criminals who abuse its name are brought to justice.
