Police has netted over Twenty suspected members of a criminal gang dubbed “Dog Tulumbe” that has been wreaking havoc in Nansana Municipality and parts of Northern Kampala.

Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, Patrick Onyango acknowledges that the suspected gang members were netted yesterday in a police operation in Namungoona, Lubigi area and Nansana Municipality.

“Dog Tulumbe”, which is loosely translated “Dog Lets Attack”, isn’t the first such criminal gang to terrorize Greater Kampala.
