According to security sources, Anguyo had been on the run following a deadly shooting at Kiboga Government Prison that left four people dead.
His escape triggered a multi-agency search operation, with authorities intensifying efforts to track him across borders.
Investigators now say the breakthrough came after Anguyo’s girlfriend, who had earlier been arrested alongside two of his brothers, shared key intelligence with security agencies.
The information reportedly enabled authorities to trace the suspect to Aru Town in Ituri Province, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Anguyo was apprehended while in hiding, bringing to an end days of uncertainty and fear following the shocking prison attack.
Authorities believe he had fled Uganda shortly after the incident, attempting to evade capture by crossing into neighboring territory.
The attack at Kiboga Government Prison claimed the lives of several individuals, including Assistant Superintendent of Prisons Hope Catherine and Principal Officer Akishuri Bright. Also killed was Ms. Ayebare Sarah, the wife of the Officer in Charge.

A young child who had been critically injured during the shooting later succumbed to injuries in hospital, raising the death toll to four.
Security officials have described the incident as one of the most disturbing cases involving a serving officer, noting that the suspect allegedly turned his weapon on colleagues and civilians in a sudden act of violence.
The role played by Anguyo’s girlfriend has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising her for cooperating with authorities while others question the circumstances surrounding her initial arrest.
