The Police in Wakiso and Bulenga on Tuesday quickly responded to a robbery involving Mr. Muganzi Felix, a 23-year-old boda boda rider.
Felix was attacked on his routine work in the early morning hours of April 2, 2024.
Amanya Joel and his accomplice named Ibrah had hired him. They asked Felix to drive them to Nakuwade, according to Deputy Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire.
The journey took a dark twist in a dimly-lit area. The suspects Joel Amanya and Ibrah, attacked Mr. Felix, the bodaboda rider, with a panga. The duel had connived to steal his motorcycle UEN 484A, using vicious force.
Despite their assault attempts, Mr. Felix bravely fought back. He overpowered Joel Amanya with locals’ aid. Sadly, the other suspect escaped with Mr. Felix’s motorcycle.
The Police at Bulenga Station swiftly responded to a distress call. Following their response , they were able to apprehend Amanya Joel, found in possession of Mr. Felix’s stolen motorcycle.
Surprisingly the subsequent investigation uncovered a cache: five suspected stolen motorcycles and eight motorcycle number plates at Muganda Ali Garage in Natete.
As part of their commitment to justice, police apprehended several suspects believed to be connected to this criminal activity.
The suspects currently in custody are: Buye Peter (18), Kizza Enock(18), Kayondo Isma(17), Ssenyondo Edward(18), Sekiwala Joseph (19), Ssempijja Mahadhi(20), Luwaga Swabul(15), Lujja Christopher(19), Sseruga Muzamir(17), Mukuye Dan(22) and Birungi Abdul Mutwalib(17).
The police said they’re working hard on the case. They want to catch all the bad people involved. The garage owner, Muganda Ali, is missing. Cops are looking everywhere for him.
