Unknown gunmen on Monday night attacked the home of a businessman in Bukokho Sub County, Namisindwa District and went away with over 40 million shillings.


John Wafula the LCIII chairperson of Bukokho sub county identifies the victim as Robert Buyula of Namagole village, Sono Parish in Namisindwa District.

Wafula says the gunmen arrived at around midnight and ordered Buyula to open the door which he did. He says Buyula was then taken to Bunjosi trading centre where he runs a mpobile money business. He was ordered to hand over all the money in his possession.

Wafula says despite notifying police in Bumbo, the thugs were already gone by the time Police arrived. He says the residents tried to pursue the gunmen in vain.

Rogers Taitika the Elgon region police spokesman has confirmed the incident saying investigations are underway.
