Police Ignore Scared Lovers Found in Nansana Lodge During anti-wildlife-trafficking Operation
Officers of the Uganda Police Force on Saturday night displayed a high level of professional focus on Saturday evening when dozens of lovebirds were found literally pants down in a Nansana guest house.
The officers from Nansana Police Station who were on a mission to seize a consignment of ivory that had just landed from Hoima, stormed the guest house at 8.00 pm, which apparently is peak time for illicit lovers to be together before retiring to their respective homes.
True to the saying that the guilty are always afraid, when the police charged the guest house and sealed off the possible exits before asking management to access the rooms, all the guests got so scared even though they had done nothing against the (amended) Panel Code under which it is no longer criminal for consenting adults to sleep together (except if they are relatives).
Most guests apparently thought they were being smoked out by their partners’ legitimate partners, and some tried to flee while only wrapped in towels. Others tried to jump out of the windows but couldn’t squeeze through the burglar-proofing.
The police officers had to start comforting the scared lovers, assuring them that they were not after them, and asking them to remain calm as they fished out their target.
Soon enough, they arrested two men, ironically one being a fellow police officer, who had 16 pieces of ivory that they had procured from poachers in the west of the country and were looking for a market in Kampala. In the process, a prospective buyer tipped off police who started monitoring their suspect’s phones, finally zeroing in on the guest house.
After the officers got their suspects and the ivory consignment worth millions of shillings, they reassured the guest house guests that all was well and there was nothing to fear. But most of the guests had lost appetite for what they had gone there to do and scampered out of the lodge on the heels of the cops.
