Gashumba and his co-accused were arrested about three weeks ago and his home searched, with the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) saying illegal documents and drugs were recovered. They were later detained at the Police Special Investigations Unit (SIU) in Kireka before being released on bail.
