Socialite Sipapa alias Olim Charles has been linked to 12 other robbery and burglary cases.
On 6th September, Sipapa joined his wife Shamira in police detention following the former’s involvement in the robbery that occurred at a South Sudanese national Jacob Arok’s home.
The duo was later arraigned before the grade one magistrate at Makindye court who sent them to Luzira prison until 19th September 2022.
However, before Sipapa could appear in court for the second hearing, the Directorate of CID and the Directorate of Forensic spilled more tea when they established 12 other cases that are linked to the local socialite.
The development came to light upon Sipapa’s fingerprints and DNA samples scientifically matched with the perpetrators at scenes of crime in Bugolobi, Kabalagala, Kira road, Jinja road, Kiwatule, Ntinda and Kyanja Jomayi, among others.
