Fred Tibamanya, a 49-year-old businessman from Kawanda in Wakiso District, fell victim to a suspected aggravated robbery on January 10, 2025.

Police in Kawempe are investigating a daring robbery that left a businessman counting losses after being ambushed in broad daylight.

Fred Tibamanya, a 49-year-old businessman from Kawanda in Wakiso District, fell victim to a suspected aggravated robbery on January 10, 2025.

Kampala Metropolitan spokesperson Patrick Onyango stated that Tibamanya had withdrawn Shs100 million from Centenary Bank’s Kawempe branch before embarking on his journey in a Toyota Harrier, registration number UBN 789W.

“However, while driving along Bombo Road at Maganjo, he was attacked by a group of men riding on three motorcycles,” Onyango said.

“Armed with pangas, the robbers smashed the vehicle’s windows while the car was stuck in traffic, seizing a bag containing the money and other documents.”

The suspects later discarded the bag near Kyadondo Hospital, taking only the cash and leaving behind crucial documents, including land titles.

Police in Kawempe have launched investigations to track down the culprits.
