Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Clive Barigye Nsiima has been charged and remanded to Luzira Prison over assault and malicious property damage following an incident at a Shell fuel station in Kyanja, Kampala.
The 34-year-old officer, attached to the Counter Terrorism Directorate under the Oil and Gas Protection Unit, had attempted to drive off with a female companion without paying for two cans of beer and a pack of condoms.
Nsiima pleaded not guilty to two counts — assault occasioning actual bodily harm and malicious damage to property — when he appeared before City Hall Grade One Magistrate Nicholas Aisu on Monday.
Prosecution alleges that on October 7, 2025, Nsiima assaulted Ms Pellan Atuhumuriize, a cashier at the station, and damaged her Infinix Hot 10 mobile phone during a confrontation over an unpaid bill of about Shs30,000.
According to the charge sheet, the dispute began when Nsiima and a female companion allegedly attempted to drive off without paying for items, including two cans of beer and a pack of condoms.
It is alleged that when Atuhumuriize followed them to demand payment, Nsiima allegedly slapped her twice, an incident captured on CCTV and widely shared online.
