A boda-boda rider, acquainted with Frank Lubinga, was present at the scene and identified him as the perpetrator.

Prompt reporting by the victim led to Lubinga’s apprehension by the authorities. An on-site investigation was conducted, including the creation of a detailed sketch map.

The charges against Lubinga include causing grievous harm to the victim during the robbery incident. A medical evaluation confirmed the accused’s mental competence and adult status, with these assessments poised to serve as crucial evidence in the upcoming trial.
