The Territorial Police in Old Kampala Division have made a major breakthrough in the investigation of the violent robbery that took place on August 22, 2025, in Kakeka Zone, Rubaga Division.
On that day, a group of machete-wielding thugs riding on five motorcycles intercepted Mr. Kisitu Ausi, an accountant with Give and Take Hardware, and robbed him of Shs 242 million which he was taking to the bank. Fortunately, neither Kisitu nor his motorcycle rider was harmed during the attack.
Swift intelligence-led operations enabled detectives to analyze CCTV footage and pursue other leads, which culminated in the arrest of several suspects.
Those charged include:
- Bakunda Steven alias Kevin
- Atwine Robert Kiiza alias Mzee Lubuto
- Andebuni Brian alias Junior Black
- Musuza Raymond alias Caesar
- Ssali Andrew alias Ande Swag
- Kanyerezi Stanley
- Nsubuga Andrew
- Aboth Shivan Alecho (charged as an accessory after the fact)
During the operations, police recovered UGX 105 million, a motorcycle believed to have been purchased with proceeds from the robbery, and a black laptop bag containing vouchers and receipts from Give and Take Hardware. The exhibits were positively identified by the complainant.
The suspects face charges of Aggravated Robbery, Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, and Being Accessories After the Fact to a Felony. Investigations are still ongoing to track down other accomplices who remain at large.
Police assured the public that violent crimes of this nature will be pursued to their full conclusion. “We commend our officers for the dedicated work that has already yielded results in this case,” said ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Deputy Public Relations Officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police.
The suspects are expected to appear before the Mwanga II Chief Magistrate’s Court today, Thursday, September 11, 2025. Members of the media have been invited to cover the proceedings.
