Mahāvaccha Sutta (MN 73) wrote: “Leaving aside Master Gotama, the monks, and the nuns, is there even a single layman disciple of Master Gotama—white-clothed and celibate—who, with the ending of the five lower fetters, is reborn spontaneously, to be extinguished there, not liable to return from that world?” “There are not just one hundred such celibate laymen who are my disciples, Vaccha, or two or three or four or five hundred, but many more than that.”
I'm sure there are more.Khemaka Sutta (SN 22.89) wrote: Although a noble disciple has given up the five lower fetters, they still have a lingering residue of the conceit ‘I am’, the desire ‘I am’, and the underlying tendency ‘I am’ which has not been uprooted.

Buddha confirms Ugga as a Non Returner
See also https://suttacentral.net/an8.21/en/bodhi8. "If I were to pass away before the Blessed One, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Blessed One would declare of me: ‘There is no fetter bound by which the householder Ugga of Hatthigāma might return to this world." This is the eighth astounding and amazing quality found in me.
The Blessed One said: “Good, good, bhikkhu! I had declared that the householder Ugga of Vesālī possesses the same eight astounding and amazing qualities that he rightly explained to you. You should remember the householder Ugga of Vesālī as one who possesses these eight astounding and amazing qualities.”

8. Of the five lower fetters taught by the Blessed One, I don’t see any that I haven’t abandoned.

Re: Why sakadagami and anagami disciples not found ?
I think you've misunderstood the translator's English idiom:
"There is no fetter bound by which the householder Ugga of Hatthigāma might return to this world," in simpler English means "Ugga doesn't have any fetter that would cause him to return to this world," which means that it's not possible for him to return to it.

No, but it describes a person who is one. The feature attributed to Ugga wouldn't apply if he wasn't one.
