Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A 19-year-old man who had travelled to Ntungamo Town to buy a motorcycle on Monday morning only found himself at a hospital bed on Tuesday morning after being recovered by friends from a lodge where he was drugged by criminals and all his money and possessions taken away.<\/p>\n

Michael Beinomugisha, a mechanic at Kakukuru\/ Rwenanura Town Council said:\u2018\u2018I withdrew the money from the village association account at Post Bank with aid of the Rwamunaba Village chairperson, Mr Benard Ngabirano who later went back home as I waited for friends who would guide me to buy the motorcycle.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

However as Beinomugisha was riding through Ntungamo Town, he met a woman and a man who asked him to ride them to centenary Bank where they wanted to change their dollars.<\/p>\n

On reaching the bank, they however came out saying the bank could not help.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they came out, the girl told me she was weak and wanted a place where she could rest. She asked me to take her to a lodge. I took her to Singa foundation guest house where she booked in. she later called asking me to take her from the lodge. I found her with a male friend and they offered me a drink. Here, I had Shs7m in my pockets. When I woke up, I was told am sleeping in a clinic,\u201d Beinomugisha said.<\/p>\n

He says he met the two in the centre of the town after dropping Mr Ngabirano at a \u2018boda-boda\u2019 stage. At a charge of Shs1, 000, he transported the duo to centenary bank, waited outside for them before he took them to the lodge where they exchanged contacts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girl told me she worked with Airtel and his male friend had so much money including dollars. I could not suspect they would steal mine since they had theirs. I was also not quaking since I am used to carrying large sums of money, I buy motorcycles for my fellows normally,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Mr Onesmus Ariho, a friend said they kept calling Beinomugisha\u2019s phone contact from 10:00am but it was off until 7:00pm. When they failed to get him, they also reported to police that started looking for him.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, when the phone went through, the lodge management picked and said Mr Beinomugisha was unconscious in a room at the facility.<\/p>\n

He was carried to Ntungamo Municipal clinic where he gained consciousness on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Mr Beinomugisha\u2019s Infnix Hot 7 phone was taken but he was left with a small phone and a sim card.<\/p>\n

Police say they are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

Meantime, Ntungamo District Police Commander (DPC), Mr Robert Nagolo noted that such \u2018\u2018incidences are becoming common with some victims of the robberies killed.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Last month, a primary school teacher was killed and his body dumped at Omungyenyi swamp after he was allegedly robbed of cash he had withdrawn from the bank.<\/p>\n

Also Ntungamo Town medic, Dr Triphon Mugisha was robbed of Shs5m in Ntungamo town centre. Only a car the criminals were driving in was impounded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
