Prosecution alleges that on July 15, 2025, at Standard Chartered Bank, Speke Road Branch, Nyanzi together with Kavuma Ibrahim, who is already on remand, and others still at large defrauded a victim of USD 205,556 (about Shs 770 million) under the pretext of selling a house located in Bunga, a Kampala suburb.
The court presided over by the Anti-Corruption Division remanded Nyanzi until November 4, 2025, as investigations continue and efforts are underway to trace and recover the stolen funds.
The SH-ACU has since reiterated its commitment to cracking down on property-related fraud, which has become increasingly common in Kampala’s booming real estate market.
“We are working closely with the police and the ODPP to ensure all those involved in this scheme are brought to justice,” an SH-ACU official said.
