Police have reported that they shot dead one person as they were arresting the gang that was seen on CCTV cameras robbing an Ethiopian diplomat in broad daylight.

This robbery happened on February 25, 2022, along Prince Charles Drive in Kololo. These thieves cornered the diplomat who was carrying a bag on a boda boda. They intercepted the motorcycle he was moving on and beat him.

The thugs stole a bag containing shs2.8 million, a laptop and phones before jumping on their boda bodas and vanishing in thin air. The same gang members apparently did the same thing along Buganda Road.

Luke Owoyesigyire noted that using the CCTV footage, police following intelligence leads carried out an operation. This saw the arrest of four persons believed to have participated in these two incidents.

“The suspects have been identified as Abdullamani Bakata alias Pancho , Nsubuga Emmanuel , Wanandya Agustine and Muwanda Ivan. Exhibits including 20 mobile phones, ATM cards and IDs of different nationals suspected to have been robbed, were recovered from their base of operation,” Owoyesigyire said.

Unfortunately, Luke Owoyesigyire noted that Police shot one person dead during the operation.

“During the operation, the task teams also shot and put out of action one suspect only identified as Alipanda. It is alleged that officers met serious resistance while arresting Alipanda. A bullet was discharged by one of the officers, injuring him. He later succumbed to his injuries on the way to Mulago hospital. His body was later conveyed to city mortuary Mulago while investigations into the shooting incident have also commenced.”
