It has been reported that armed robbers broke into the couple’s residence in Bukasa, Makindye Division, Kampala on December 5, 2023, with the help of a residential guard named Wango.

Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga recently informed journalists that the residential guard deactivated the alarm system and CCTV cameras, which were monitored and controlled from the central security room near the main gate.Since then, the police have made several arrests, including four officers, in connection with the robbery.

The stolen amount, totaling shs41.5 million, allegedly came from Nekesa’s account at the DFCU Bank, Nakasero branch.Speculations suggest that the wealthy Lumolo, who owns various businesses such as car dealerships, may have brought home some money without informing his wife.

Currently, the police are investigating the loss of shs2.2 billion. Mulindwa appealed for calm while the police and the court continue their investigation into the matter.

“We should patiently await the outcome as the police and the courts of law conduct their work.” Mulindwa Said
