Other bank security guards who were on duty on February 11th have been taken into custody to help in the investigations.

Bagyenda -- who is being probed over the irregular closure of seven commercial banks -- was fired from her position on February 7th.

She hasn't been able to attend any COSASE meeting since last week after notifying the committee chairperson and governor Bank of Uganda about her appointments abroad.
