Police identifies the three guards as Otulo Emmanuel, Odira Francis Bob and Traleti Pascal. They are attached to Tight Security Limited.

 

Rogers Taitika the Elgon Region Police Spokesman says the three guards are reported to have robbed over 20 million shillings from an Indian National, Dharmesh Makwan, a resident of Mooni ward in Mbale City.

 

Taitika says that on Monday this week at around 6:15pm, the three guards entered Dharmesh’s room, put him at gunpoint and demanded for money. Dharmesh handed over a bag containing the money to the guards who later fled.

 

He made an alarm attracting neighbors who went in pursuit of the guards. The guards were corned and the bag recovered with only 13million shillings. Taitika says that investigations into the matter are ongoing.
