In 2008, more than 700 families of Bukooba-Kasawo village petitioned President Yoweri Museveni for his intervention after they accused police of colluding with Abid and his agents to effect what they called illegal eviction.
The residents claimed they were the rightful owners of the 12 square miles of the land in question having purchased it from Mubende land office. Some said they inherited from their grandparents, former World War II ex servicemen. Abid reportedly paid each of the 700 families between Shs 500,000 and 1.5 million to vacate the land.
Then, the residents claimed that the rowdy youths were backed by some police officers to terrorise them at night with machetes and spears at night to force them off their land.
