Five Families Mysteriously Go Missing
Residents of Bruno Konge Village in Makindye, Kampala City are in panic after members from five families mysteriously shifted from their homes to unknown destinations.
The LC chairman Joseph Katongole, revealed that two of the members that had disappeared were known residents in the village register and ardent businessmen who have been successfully operating a butcher for the past two years. But he got information that the stall had been sold off and the new owners do not give clear information about their whereabouts.
“If you start a business and get customers, you are contended. Their butcher had so many customers and they were doing well so you cannot just abandon that. Our informer called me and told me the news,” he said.
The five families are said to have moved with their wives and children bringing the total number of missing people to 16 and by the time they disappeared, they had sold off all their belongings.
In a presser, Police spokesperson SCP Fred Enanga revealed that security had opened an active search for the families that they say left to join Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a terrorist group in DRC.
“After disappearing, they sent an audio message indicating that they were going to join the best Muslim group in the world…they said there are no good Muslim people in the world than the ones they are joining,” he said.
The police have identified the missing family members as Kintu Ibrahim, Waliggo Hussein, Ssemaganda Abdul Rashid, Lusiba Ashraf and 35-year-old Sseruwenda Abdul Rahman all disappeared with their wives and children.
“We are looking for them and any other perpetrators involved in mobilization of Ugandans into joining ADF ranks. We have been monitoring a number of spaces including schools. Homes and places of worship and this was one of them,” Enanga said, also advising the members of the public to avoid joining these terrorist groups.
