Following this revelation, a joint operation tracked Cyubahiro to his residence in Bunamwaya, leading to his arrest.
Robert Kalumba, the Commissioner for Public and Corporate Affairs at URA, urged the public during a press conference to verify such invitations to avoid falling for such scams
During interrogation, Cyubahiro admitted to the impersonation but claimed he was influenced by a friend who previously worked as a driver at Roofings Limited.
According to Cyubahiro, his accomplice provided contacts for various CEOs, and the pair initiated phone calls pretending to be Mr Musinguzi.
They also printed and sent invitation cards to enhance the credibility of their scheme.
However, their plan failed, as no contributions were received from their intended victims.
Following his arrest, Cyubahiro appealed to the Commissioner General for forgiveness, insisting it was his first time committing such an offence.
Kalumba reiterated the importance of vigilance and verifying invitations or claims, especially when they involve financial contributions.
“The public should always confirm such requests to avoid falling prey to impersonators,” he advised.
Cyubahiro remains in custody as investigations continue, with authorities determined to ensure justice is served and to deter future impersonation attempts.
