The Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura has issued a strong warning to Muslims who have threatened to violently deal with their Mufti Sheik Shaban Mubajje if the Court tomorrow finds him innocent of allegations of selling Muslim properties.Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Court will tomorrow Monday issue its judgment on a case filed against Mubajje and other leaders of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council. Mubajje, UMSC Chairman, Hajji Hasan Basajabala and former UMSC General Secretary Hajji Dr. Edris Kasenene are accused of selling several properties belonging to Muslims. The trio were sued in the Court by a group of Muslims led by Sheik Muzata but the case was later taken over the Directorate of Public Prosecutions since the case was criminal.
A group of muslims on Friday said they were going to launch a Jihad (Holy war) on Monday if the muslims leaders are declared innocent by the court. They have threatened to come ready to die and discipline the leaders if they are freed of charges. But Maj. Gen. Kayihura says the Police will not allow any group of Muslims to cause chaos in the city when the ruling is read out on Monday. He says the police are ready and well equipped to deal with any violence and will not allow anyone to take the law in to their own hands.
The police chief says that if any group feels the judgment read by Court tomorrow is unfavorable, they should appeal the judgment to higher courts of law.
