Police is investigating two banks in Kampala in connection with a syndicate that plotted to swindle 2 million Euros from an Eritrean national.
Police Spokesperson Andrew Felix Kaweesi says that the Eritrean, Daniel Weldo, 32, had moved to Kampala because of the volatile situation in south Sudan, where he was running businesses. Weldo had saved 2 million Euros in an account in one of the Ugandan Banks.
However, Kaweesi adds, his encounter with an organized syndicate put his life in danger. He was reported missing on October 27. Reports indicated that he had been kidnapped by unknown persons. His body was found dumped in a farm near Busia district, Kenya over the weekend.
//Cue in: "Since that time…
Cue out:…arrested three people"//
Kaweesi says that prior investigations have unveiled a syndicate involving two banks and three people who could have connived to eliminate the businessman in order to get hold of his savings.
Although he did not name the banks, Kaweesi named the suspected individual accomplices as UPDF Captain Hakeem Mangen, the mastermind of the plot; Ben Lumu and Lucy Katuramu.
According to Kaweesi, although the core business between the three suspects is not known, preliminary investigations indicate that Weldo contacted them in his search for a Germany visa. He added that the trio had accomplices in the banks with whom they worked in the hope that there will be no claimant to the money once the owner is eliminated.
Kaweesi says it is not the first time; there is an attempt on the life and finances of a foreigner by the two banks and suspects.
