MBARARA CITY, UGANDA – Police in Mbarara City intercepted ten buses at the Biharwe checkpoint on Saturday at around 1 a.m., carrying 840 youths allegedly mobilized under Aim Global, a scheme authorities have repeatedly flagged as fraudulent.
Security teams, including police and UPDF personnel, impounded the buses and escorted all passengers to the police playground, where a thorough screening exercise is currently underway.
Sources indicate that the youths were mobilized from several districts across the western region and were being transported to Kampala under unclear circumstances. Each bus is said to have been paid UGX 2.5 million for the trip.
The police are investigating the incident and urge the public to come forward with information to assist in the inquiry.
