International Crimes Division jails man 10 years for terrorism over power line destruction

Justice Andrew Bashaija of the High Court's International Crimes Division convicted Ibrah Muwonge, also known as Ibrah Kimbowa, of two counts of terrorism and one of terrorism financing under a plea bargain, sentencing him to 10 years and five years to run concurrently. Prosecutors said 14 pylons and poles on several transmission lines in central Uganda were cut or destroyed between November and December 2022, and that Muwonge led and financed the group responsible.
