A dispute over a mother's houses in Entebbe and Kabaganda, as well as control of Sophies Ltd, has escalated into a fight for freedom for Kavuma, the heir to Late Nkutu's estate. Kavuma alleges that after his arrest for criminal trespass and four nights at Entebbe CPS, he received forwarded messages on December 23, 2025, outlining a plan to remove him from police custody and commit him to Butabika Hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
The messages, allegedly sent by executor Brian Serunjoji and written by Conrad Kirunda Nkutu, proposed a "Butabika option" to hold Kavuma for at least two weeks while the courts were not functioning. The plan included denying him phone and visitor access, reading the Will, revoking his mandate, and deciding the fate of Kabaganda. Kavuma claims the messages changed everything he thought he knew about the family estate fight.
According to Kavuma, the plan involved several steps, including signing him out of CPS and into Butabika by police officers, providing grounds for a psych evaluation, and holding him in the private wing under full-time watch. The messages also allegedly stated that if Butabika freed him, he should only be released back into police custody, with an arrest warrant from Kiteezi Police waiting for him.
Kavuma further alleges that after he was granted bond by OC CID Entebbe, Mr Comfort Byamukama, a plan was discussed to have a CID officer from Kiteezi, Emmy Odongo, wait at Entebbe CPS to re-arrest him for allegedly hindering burial and cyber harassment, seize his phone, and transfer him to Kiteezi.
Kavuma believes the plan was not about medical care, but about keeping him "out of circulation" — no phone, no visitors, no ability to plot or defend himself — while decisions were made about the Will and jointly bequeathed assets, including Kabaganda. He also points to a separate message allegedly from Conrad, proposing liquidation of all jointly bequeathed assets, selling Kabaganda, and exhuming and reburying two deceased sisters.
The dispute over the estate has led to several allegations of inheritance fraud and manipulation. Kavuma claims that the plan to exhume both ladies buried in Kabaganda and sell the home might be one of the motivations for his continued denied access to the Kabaganda home. The situation remains complex, with multiple parties involved and various interests at stake.
Kavuma has made these allegations public, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold. The executor, Brian Serunjoji, and Conrad Kirunda Nkutu have not publicly commented on the allegations. The case highlights the complexities and challenges of inheritance disputes, particularly when multiple parties are involved and emotions run high.
