Humble Pie Well Swallowed: Blow by Blow of How Dejected City Land Broker Mohammad Kamoga Survived Jail after Returning Ssuuna Ben’ Land Title

Dejected and humiliated land broker Muhammad Kamoga has been humbled. This is after he succumbed to pressure over forgery and fraudulent registration of a third party on a land title belonging to Socialite Ssuuna Ben, of Ebinyanya fame. Hajji Kamoga of the now defunct M/s Kamoga Property Consultants finally returned the land title to Ssuuna, thereby yielding to a two weeks social media pressure ignited by the singer at the burial of his mother.

At the burial, Ssuuna Ben asked the spirit of his dead mother to report the matter to God for help in order to overcome the fraud that had been visited on him by Kamoga and help him get justice. Ssuuna Ben, a DJ and singer made remarks amid applause which attracted artistes, Ugandans and the media to intervene in the matter by publicly ridiculing and demanding Kamoga to come clean by returning Ssuuna Ben’s land title registered in only his name.

One of the artistes identified as Sseguya, commonly known as Kayibanda, asked Kamoga to rectify the mess or face dire consequences. “You are not the first one but you cannot turn against a man who spends nights in the cold playing music and defraud him and plan to steal his house by adding another person on his title,” he said.

He was quickly joined by several media personalities, Ssuuna Ben’s friends, associates, and sympathizers who exposed Kamoga’s several fraudulent land dealings. The property broker was accused of being a thief, habitual fraudster, and in particular fraudulently registering a third party on a land title belonging to Ben.

It is alleged that last year, 2024 while working for Ssuuna Ben via assisting him in transferring his land title for land at Bukaya into his name, the land broker, Kamoga fraudulently added another name on the transfer form to imply that the socialite co-owns the property at Garuga in Entebbe, Wakiso District, with a one Nambwayo, whereas not.

The incident sparked accusations against Kamoga, and in particular, describing him as a ‘renown Fraudster and thief.’ Ssuuna Ben asserted that Kamoga had subjected him to untold suffering and sorrow since 2024, a place he had not experienced before. The singer hence told his dead mother thus: “I know you are going to heaven, but as soon as you reach there and before even taking that cup of tea, please report to God that you have left me struggling.”

Ssuuna Ben’s outcry attracted other people in the performing art sector and his friends to demand that Kamoga rectifies the fraud or face the consequences. Kamoga, in several media communications, conceded that Ssuuna had actually purchased the plot from him but alleged that he purchased it together with a woman called Nambwayo.

When the media campaign against Kamoga intensified, he, through his lawyers, wrote threatening to sue Ssuuna Ben if he did not cease and desist from what he alleged as defamatory statements against his personal and business reputation. He also made an outrageous demand of Shs900,000,000 from Ssuuna as damages for reportedly soiling his ‘name and reputation.`

The demands were ignored by Ssuuna Ben. This stance, because of the intensity of Ssuuna Ben’s campaign against Kamoga, exposing his fraudulent dealings before the Court of Public Opinion, plus a forensic report that had confirmed how Ben’s signature had been forged and all related fraud cases against Kamoga.

Kamoga was surely crumbling at a supersonic speed and risked going to jail for forgery and fraud. Humiliated, he reached out to Hajji Kavuma of KT promotions and requested him to talk to Ssuuna Ben and have him stop the media campaign against him in consideration of returning his land title and transfer forms signed by Nambwayo whom he had fraudulently aided to be registered on his land title.

Indeed, a meeting was called in which Kamoga publicly handled over the title to Ssuuna Ben at a media discourse. Describing it as a historical moment that brought all the parties to a sitting unlike before, Ssuuna Ben said the matter is now concluded after Hajji Kamoga handed over his land title. “I am Ssuuna Ben, I thank you all, my friends, for your efforts… Kamoga has returned my land title. I have confirmed today that people have power.”

Nambwayo, who had fraudulently been jointly registered with Ssuuna Ben on the title, did not say a word but sheepishly laughed off. Hajji Kamoga, who cut a dejected pose said in a humble voice that the matter has been resolved and apologized to Ssuuna Ben. Despite Ssuuna’s unconventional methods getting him justice, he was desperately yearning for in record time, other victims of Kamoga’s fraud have to wait to get justice.

The case by Ssuuna Ben leaves more woes in regard to a multi-billion fraud case where the property broker allegedly forged the signature of businessman Peter Bibangamba to fraudulently transfer his 200 acres of prime land at Garuga in Entebbe. He has since been charged at Entebbe Magistrates Court with eight counts of forgery, uttering a false document, obtaining registration by false pretenses as well as forceful eviction.

Kamoga is slated to appear before the Chief Magistrates Court in Entebbe on March 28, 2025 for hearing of the fraud charges after the Court of Appeal ordered the hearing to resume at Entebbe Magistrates Court and after dismissing Kamoga’s attempts to stop the trial.
