@IdeologuePower@JackieAkampwera Coming from such a family that’s educated - beautiful wife and big profile in the sports sector, had the physique to try and fight back or even to run but showed his composure in tough times because real thieves run away. RIP Sydney 😭
How Kampala thieves operate:
These criminals move with a well-planned strategy on the streets. In most cases, they work in groups consisting of a woman carrying a bag and several male accomplices acting as backup.
Once they identify a target, the woman quickly approaches and deliberately bumps into the person. Suddenly, her bag falls to the ground, or she throws herself down and starts shouting, “Omubbi! Omubbi!” (“Thief! Thief!”).
Immediately, her accomplices rush in, pretending to respond to the alarm. They begin searching, harassing, and accusing the victim while checking for valuables. In many cases, they start beating the victim, attracting a mob that joins in without knowing the truth.
A friend of mine once fell victim to a similar scheme. Thank God his “Inzikuru” 🏃🏾♂️ ancestors watched over him and helped him escape the danger. Otherwise, he could have lost his life.
Sadly, this appears to be a growing trend in our country. Even more concerning are allegations that some of these criminals are protected or aided by corrupt security personnel.
We must all remain careful and vigilant when walking on the streets, driving along highways, or stopping at traffic lights. Stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, and never rush to judge a situation before knowing the facts.
Your awareness could save your life or someone else’s!
@jjuuko_ntale Real thieves would try to fight back. He had the physique and he could mug a few but kept pleading. The killers kept beating without even having evidence. May them rot in jail
🔴🇨🇮 Un moment particulièrement émouvant. Le jeune Rafael, fils de Cheick Tioté, s’est recueilli sur la tombe de son père. Entre souvenir, amour et douleur, il a rendu un hommage poignant à celui qui restera à jamais dans son cœur. 😭🕊️❤️
@HirooOnodaon That really broke me down man - that’s what is hurting the most. The same people can’t stand up for those that get kidnapped but always quick to kill without evidence
@MarionAbenUg@PoliceUg@piratesrugbyUG@UgandaRugby Anyone can be framed and these guys can easily kill you. That was Terrible. Can’t imagine what was going through his head knowing that his life was cut short
