Kyotera mobile money agent robbed of Shs150 million at gunpoint

Police in Kyotera District are investigating a robbery in which a mobile money agent was held at gunpoint and robbed of Shs150 million, narrowly escaping gunfire.

The incident occurred on Monday, October 7, around midday during a heavy downpour. The shop owner, Ms Stella Nabitosi, recounted the harrowing ordeal, stating the assailant appeared well-prepared, dressed in a long black jacket and mask that obscured his face.

“He pointed the gun at us and ordered everyone to lie down before smashing the glass partition separating the two rooms,” Ms Nabitosi explained.

The gunman then moved into the second room, looting money from the safe and gathering other cash scattered around.

"About Shs150 million is missing. I was about to bank the money. This experience will haunt me for months,” she added.
