Latif has also went ahead and written to the Inspector General of Police Martin OKoth Ochola , requesting informing him about the event at the same time seeking for security.

Last week, court of Appeal dismissed an application which was filed by Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) seeking to stay the judgement and decree from High court civil suit No.505 of 2023 until the appeal resulting from the same is fully heard and disposed off.
Court in a judgement by Justice Christopher Gashirabake, noted that having perused all evidence presented to court , he made findings that there is no way through which the applicant was going to suffer irreparable damage if the order to stay is not issued.
UMSC has up to 22nd December 2023 to settle the alleged debt , failure of which all the above mentioned property will be auctioned by the businessman.
