The Former Buyende District Police Commander, ASP Muhammad Kirumira has been released on bail over charges of extortion, unlawful exercise of authority and corruption.

Police court seated at their headquarters in Naguru, chaired by Denis Odongpiny granted Kirumira bail after presenting the former Kampala Metropolitan Police operations commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Sam Omala as his surety.

Kirumira also apologized over his ‘scandalous conduct’ when he tried to march out of police court protesting harsh bail conditions last week. He was ordered to report to Police Professional Standards Unit every morning working day and refrain from talking to the press.

In the morning there was a scuffle when police ran in a chase of journalists who were denied access at the headquarters a scenario that is alleged to have caused some injuries.

This was later distanced by the Police Spokesperson Emilian Kayima saying that no journalist was beaten hence calling for any journalists claiming to have been assaulted to record a statement so that a culpable officer is punished.
