Businessman
and socialite Emmanuel Lwasa has been
taken into custody at Katwe Police Station following a dispute involving a 23 million
shillings debt .
According to preliminary reports, Lwasa was arrested after failing to settle the outstanding amount claimed by a complainant whose identity has not yet been disclosed. Police sources indicate that the matter was reported earlier this week, prompting authorities to summon the businessman for questioning.
Upon his appearance, the disagreement is said to have escalated into a formal case, leading to his detention as investigations continue. Officers say they are working to establish the details surrounding the transaction and whether both parties can reach an amicable settlement.
Lwasa, known for his high-profile
lifestyle and frequent media attention, has in recent years faced several
financial-related controversies. This latest incident has once again drawn public
interest, with many awaiting updates on how the case unfolds.
Police have not yet issued a full statement, but sources reveal that Lwasa may be released once the debt matter is resolved or if both sides agree to a repayment plan.
