The Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court has remanded Muhammad Ali, the former managing director of Duck Hunters Security Services Limited, to Luzira Prison on charges of forgery and uttering false documents.
Muhammad appeared before court and was remanded until July 31, 2026, as investigations into the case continue.
Prosecution alleges that Muhammad used forged documents to secure bail while facing trial in a separate case involving an alleged $3.5 million (about UGX 13 billion) fake gold scam targeting investors from Dubai.
The state contends that the forged documents were part of a broader attempt to circumvent bail conditions.
Earlier proceedings on June 16, 2026, were marked by a prolonged standoff at the same court after the magistrate declined to cancel Muhammad’s bail despite submissions from the prosecution.
Security operatives from SHACU and CID maintained a heavy presence at the court premises as the situation dragged on for hours into the evening.
Investigators argue that attempts to withdraw sureties were intended to undermine bail terms and possibly facilitate the accused’s escape from the country.
Muhammad is jointly charged with others in connection with the high-value gold scam in which Dubai-based investors were allegedly defrauded.
The case remains before court as investigations continue into both the fraud and the new forgery charges, adding another layer to an already complex prosecution.
