🚨🇺🇬 Iganga Businessman Arrested Over Staged Shs 5 Million Robbery. Police have arrested an Iganga businessman, identified as Waiswa Kayela, over allegations that he fabricated a robbery involving Shs 5 million. In his initial statement, Waiswa reportedly claimed that armed men travelling in a Toyota RAV4 without number plates and disguised as traffic police officers intercepted his truck, registration number UA 717BN, and demanded money while threatening to kill him. However, investigations reportedly uncovered inconsistencies in his account. Highway CCTV footage allegedly showed that the truck had not travelled beyond Iganga town on the day of the reported robbery. Telecommunications data also reportedly placed Waiswa around Busei village in Nakalama Sub-county, Iganga District, on October 18, contradicting his account. During further questioning on the evening of October 19, Waiswa allegedly admitted that the robbery had not taken place. Police investigations into the matter are ongoing. #Uganda #PoliceNews #Iganga #CrimeNews
