The State House Anti-Corruption Unit have arrested Eric Sakwa, the Resident District Commissioner of Jinja, on allegations torture, manslaughter and theft.
The arrest was confirmed Friday evening by officials from the Ant-Corruption Unit.
Mr Sakwa is accused among others of ordering the military to terrorise residents in Jinja and being personally involved in the brutalization of people under the pretext of implementing the presidents Covid19 lock down directives.
He, however, denied the allegations against him. Sakwa said he has not yet tortured anyone, but the claims are fabricated by politicians and his rivals including another RDC whom he says is interested in his job.
Sakwa was then remanded to Kirinya government prison.
Sakwa is linked to the death of a one Charles Isanga who is said to have died after alleged torture by the RDC and his team.
