Ugandan police are pursuing three suspects believed to have orchestrated the murder of Albert Cook Tugume, 33, and Bernard Sabiiti, 30, during a mobile money shop robbery in Ntinda, Kampala. Tugume, brother of Kampala Deputy Lord Mayor Doreen Nyanjura, was attacked at his shop on November 22.
Four suspects have already been charged and remanded to Luzira prison, including Jimmy Mutagubya, Bosco Kayemba, Marvin Makanga, and Hamza Mutebi, facing counts of murder, aggravated robbery, and conspiracy. Kampala Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire identified the remaining fugitives as Hussein Kabuye, Joseph Bambaiha (aka “fire”), and Martin Lukenge.
The fatal incident occurred as Tugume attempted to flee with a bag containing money, mobile agent lines, and bank agent machines. Armed assailants on motorcycles intercepted him, resulting in his death and the subsequent killing of Sabiiti, a motorcycle taxi driver who attempted to intervene. Sabiiti later died at Mulago Hospital from his injuries.
Police have established multiple contact numbers for public assistance in locating the suspects, emphasizing their commitment to securing justice for the victims and maintaining public safety.
