UPDF officer, Peter Musoloki. The officer fled but his wife Christine Lanyero was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of opium. The rolled sticks were found in a water jar, according to the Police. The Police said Musoloki deals in opium rolls of which he sells at about sh1,000 each. “He buys and sells to his fellow soldiers and a gang of youth who reside at Kasubi Small-Gate,” said the regional Police spokesman, Jonhson Kilama.  He said the hunt for the retired soldier continues adding that people should desist from dealing in bhangi. A team of 23 Police constables, headed by the district Police commander, Yasin Ndimwibo, conducted the operation. Kasubi ward local leaders said the rate of bhangi smoking in the area was very high, especially among soldiers and the youth. They said they had warned them in vain. According to a recent Police report, Uganda is East Africa’s biggest producer of opium. The report also indicated that cocaine and heroin were being smuggled into Western markets through Uganda.
