The land in dispute is a 100-acre block 221, plot 118 in Kyaggwe. Mwanje said that the house which was destroyed was built by President Museveni for his late son Meddie Muyanja, a UPDF officer.
According to Mwanje, a group of people led by a Special Forces Command (SFC) soldier identified as Sobbi, went to his home last week and smashed the house, ruined his vegetation without presenting any documentation.
Narrating this incident from his sickbay, Mwanje said that the he has authority from court to protect his land from encroachers.
"They came here and destroyed things including crops, trees and went with the trees. I have a court order from KMP noting that no one is supposed to destroy any property on this land," he said.
Police gets involved
The commotion surrounding this land dispute attracted the attention of Mukono Police Officer in Charge (OC) Michael Kato. He advised the family members of Mwanje to remain calm and to seek legal resolution.
However, an enraged Mwanje allegedly determined that he would use whatever means necessary to keep the land grabbers away from his property.
President Museveni has not responded in this matter.
