Uganda socialite, Charles Olim, who is popularly known as Sipapa was on Thursday hit with fresh charges related on breaking into the offices of Japanese Ujamaa Company.

Sipapa is accused of stealing property and cash worth Sh169m during the break-in. the new charges added to the list of legal woes facing the controversial socialite, who has previously been arrested for various offenses.

The case came to life recently when police requested all those who accuse Sipapa of having committed crimes against them to show up and pin him as he battles charges of theft currently in the High Court.

Sipapa was nabbed and slapped with the charges based on his alleged fingerprints which were examined by investigators who found them seemingly matching.

According to the lawyer, Sipapa will win this particular case since the accuser did not have some of his facts well-tabled and made uncoordinated submissions before the Makindye Chief Magistrates Court.

The lawyer further claims that fingerprints that were tabled were from 2022 yet the crime took place in 2019 which he is going to challenge based on the database of fingerprints

Even though he acquits himself of the fresh charges slapped against him, Sipapa will remain remanded as he waits for the High court to schedule the hearing of his first case that involves stealing Shs1.6B and jewelry from a South Sundanese that took place in Bunga last year.

Sipapa will be returning to court on 3rd April for his next court session.
