The prosecution alleges that between 2021 and 2024, the accused conspired to defraud Equity Bank of 62 billion shillings by orchestrating the disbursement of unsecured loans to unqualified individuals, spanning various locations in Kampala and Wakiso Districts.

Specific Allegations

In particular, Erina Nabisubi, in her role as Relationship Manager Telecom, is accused of incurring a debt of 6.55 billion shillings from the bank under false pretenses, purportedly on behalf of Gladys Najjemba. Additionally, she allegedly obtained 300 million shillings, falsely representing Latiffa Nagawa as meeting loan requirements.

Julius Musiimenta stands accused of concealing the true ownership of 18 million shillings, purportedly received as gratification for facilitating a 700-million-shilling loan.

Legal Proceedings

The accused have been cautioned against making statements regarding the charges, as the court lacks jurisdiction to try the case. They will have the opportunity to plead in the High Court and apply for bail, should they choose to do so.

State Attorney Raymond Mugisa has stated that investigations are ongoing, with the prosecution assuring the defense of access to necessary documents for bail applications and trial preparation.

Court Decision

Magistrate Asiimwe has directed the prosecution to provide updates on the investigation’s progress, expressing concern over the seriousness of the charges and the fairness of detaining the accused. Pending further developments, the accused have been remanded to Luzira Prison until April 12th, 2024.
