Police in Nateete have foiled a robbery attempt at two Fortebet betting companies, resulting in the death of one suspect, Kayongo Benard Nadumba, 25, a resident of Kita6wuluzi, Mutundwe, Rubaga Division, Kampala District.
According to Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, on January 6, 2025, Nadumba and his accomplices, armed with pangas, attacked the first Fortebet branch along Nateete Masaka road, making off with an unspecified amount of money.
