Kampala International University (KIU) student Presley Kironde was on Monday arrested by the Kabalagala Police for scamming over $48,000 and land titles from a white female in Muyenga
Kironde was reportedly picked from campus on his reporting day.
The arrested student, who made a name in the famous “dicko” audio is son to a top professor at Makerere University who is a renown entrepreneur and owner of a string of real estate property in town. Kironde, whose whereabouts are unknown is looking at serious jail time.
The arrested student was taken in under case number AA209/2021 at Kabalagala Police with police number CRB4048/2021.
According to more reports coming in, he has refused to disclose where the money and the land titles are, living his friends worried sick. Kironde was seen flaunting money in multiple videos, days before his arrest.
“He made this page and put me as an admin as these people were doing investigations they saw me as an admin and they said scam with him.” Said Nyanzi Fred, who is currently running Kironde’s pages.
“The reason he was arrested is because he scammed a woman 40k usd. Me personally I wasn’t arrested I was called to the station and they told me my name was there in the admins and Presley is no longer at the station so he is being looked for because even his parents don’t know where he is all i want is him to surface because my name is getting spoilt along with his and he cant be found.” Nyanzi added.
“The woman says he asked her for money to get a tourist visa, accomodation, medical insurance which totaled up to that amount” Nyanzi Fred explained further.
The friends have apparently tried to look for him but they haven’t found him in Kabalagala police cells. His close pals are calling upon the public to call 0783815564 in case they spot the KIU student anywhere.
