Police has transferred self-confessed criminal Paddy Sserunjoji alias Sobi and his two accomplices to Nalufenya Police Facility in Jinja for further interrogations.
The others are Shafiq Kisozi and Tim Tasha. The trio was picked up on Monday from Rose Garden Hotel during an interview with journalists and was locked up at Nsangi police station, where they spent a night.
This morning, Police Flying Squad operatives picked up Sobi from Nsangi police Station in Wakiso district and drove off to Nalufenya in Jinja.
Luke Owoyesigyire, the Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson told us that the suspects were no longer at Nsangi Police Station.
The trio was picked up on the orders of the Inspector General of Police (IGP)-Kale Kayihura following their confession to the media about their involvement in crime in the city.
During the Christmas festive season, Sobi and his colleagues appeared on Television explaining how they were behind several robberies and murders in the city. They also claimed that they were some police officers in the commission of the crimes.
Police says it wants to interrogate Sobi on the alleged crimes and also establish their police collaborators.
Although police asked members of the public with complaints against Sobi to come forward, no complaint has been received yet. Sobi's arrest comes barely two months since he stopped working with the police intelligence Directorate and joined the Internal Security Organization (ISO).
38-year- old Sobi started working directly with Police in October 2016 shortly after his release from Luzira prisons where he served a 4-year-jail term.
He was allocated an office at CPS and assigned a team of informers to handle and help bring down criminal gangs in Kampala and its surrounding areas. Prior to his arrest in 2012, Sobi was the mastermind of a criminal gang, which terrorized Kampala and its surrounding districts.
Records in the police Crime Intelligence Directorate show that Sobi was a police informer before he slipped off to become a criminal gang leader. As a criminal, Sobi and his gang members ventured into petty crimes like snatching bags and phones in the streets and concerts in Kampala before they graduated to armed robbery and murder.
