“Security agencies in close coordination with immigration officials have been investigating two foreign nationals working with a leading mobile telecom company over their engagement in acts which compromise national security.” ACP Polly Namaye, the deputy Police spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday.

Police said that Tabura and Prentout were using their employment “as tools to achieve their ill motives” and have been deported.

Their deportation “has enabled us disrupt their intended plans of compromising our national security,” ACP Namaye added in the statement.
