Embattled city socialite Charles ‘Sipapa’ Olim’s chances of being granted bail were yet again dealt with a major blow as the Makindye court sent him back to Luzira prison till the next month.
The socialite will appear before the judge for the next ruling of his case on the 29th of May 2023 as he faces charges related to breaking into the Japanese Ujamaa company offices and stealing property and cash summing up to Shs169m.
The reason why Sipapa’s case was not heard yesterday, is because the judge in charge of his matter was not present together with the government prosecutor.
The judge’s absence had been communicated earlier to Sipapa’s lawyers as the judge is on leave whereas the government prosecutor is on a long week summit that governs all judges nationwide.
His lawyer explained that he is glad Sipapa was given an earlier date as compared to the rest who will have to return to court in June reasoning that the court has lots of cases to handle.
He also set the record straight as to why lately Sipapa’s wife Shamirah has not featured in court reasoning that she is not involved in this particular matter.
