Police in Kampala is holding four people on accusations of defrauding people claiming to have the capacity to print money.
Patrick Onyango, Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, identified the suspects as David Wambuzi, Gordon Kavuma, Leila Malika and one Alice.
Police said the suspects defrauded some people over 30 million shillings promising to sell to them a money printing machine. The victims were duped to first send the money in order to acquire the whole machine.
Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) records of 2018 show Ugandans lost 11 billion shillings to land and property fraudsters. People were duped with fake money making deals, fake land titles, and duplicate foreign currencies.
Onyango says some of the victims were conned in Kireka Trading Centre in Wakiso District.
