Dream turns into nightmare as woman arrested on her wedding day

null

A Ugandan woman was on Saturday subjected to a harrowing experience after four police officers arrested her during her wedding over an alleged theft charge.

According to reports, the four stormed into the wedding reception, whisked her out of the premise, and took her to a police station in Mbarara, Western Uganda where she spent the night and was released on Sunday.

Police spokesperson Fred Enanga confirmed the incident saying that the four may be facing dismissal from the force upon conviction.

Enanga said that the arrest was "reprehensible and based on poor judgement" further asserting that legal action shall be taken against them.

"It turned out that what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life ended in a nightmare," Enanga said in a statement.

Enanga noted that one officer has already been apprehended and will remain in police custody.

Meanwhile, a manhunt has been launched for the remaining three in a bid to bring them to book.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the arrest was prompted by complaints from the bride's ex-employer where she was working as a bank agent. They had been asked to seek civil resolve over the dispute.
