Joint security agencies have arrested former Police Special Operations Commander, SSP Nixon Agasirwe, over allegations of his involvement in the 2015 assassination of senior state prosecutor Joan Kagezi.

The arrest follows testimony by a key prosecution witness, Daniel Kiwanuka Kisekka, a UPDF deserter who told the International Crimes Division of the High Court on Wednesday that a man he identified as “Nick” ordered Kagezi’s killing.

Sources close to the investigation confirmed to this publication that SSP Agasirwe is currently being held at the Flying Squad headquarters in Kireka to assist with ongoing inquiries.
