Gang targets SGR-compensated families

“The suspects allegedly tied an AK-47 rifle around the child’s neck and directed the parents to the location. The parents reportedly contacted police, who recovered the child together with the firearm, which is suspected to belong to a private security organisation,” a source said. On May 28, the same suspects allegedly attacked the home of Bosses Talemwa, proprietor of St Abel and St Mary’s High School in Njeru, at Bujjowali and abducted his wife, Molletie Komugisha, 50.
