Born to staunchly Muslim parents in Butaleja District in Eastern Uganda, Hiwumbire Hassan, a married policeman and a father of three has served in various districts as DPC.
In 2020, Hiwumbire was in Maracha District in West Nile as DPC and earned himself prominence for how he notoriously implemented the COVID 19 curfew. Maracha locals are synonymous with how he always beat up women and children indiscriminately as long as he found them outside their houses past 7pm.
From Maracha District, Hiwumbire who broke the jaws of a 78 year old woman was transferred to Kroger’s District where he also served as DPC. While here, Hiwumbire was in a syndicate with high profile criminals who would terrorize and steal from people but would be assured of police bond. The Hiwumbire gang stole motorcycles and would also be involved in burglary cases. Despite this stained record, Hiwumbire was spared for how he mercilessly dealt with NUP and opposition supporters. He cooperated vividly well with CMI to abduct NUP supporters in greater Masaka.
However, immediately after the 2021 general elections, Hiwumbire was transferred to Wandegeya police station and tasked with taming NUP supporters within his area of operation. He was charged with ensuring full time surveillance at the NUP offices in Kavule, taking strikes in Makerere and working with AIGP Christopher Ddamulira to compromise ghetto youths believed to be NUP supporters. He has successfully managed this assignment.
