Police in Kakiri have arrested Nasuuna Harriet, a 38-year-old resident of Nampunge village in Kakiri sub-county, Wakiso district, on charges linked to human trafficking.
The arrest comes after vigilant whistleblowers tipped off the police about her alleged involvement in an elaborate scheme targeting individuals aged 18 and above, promising them lucrative employment prospects across borders.
Following a tip-off, the police arrested Nasuuna. During interrogation, she reportedly told the police that she had orchestrated the recruitment of youths hailing from different regions within Uganda, including Nansana, Kyengera, Bukomero, Butambala, Kasese, Fort Portal, Kyegegwa, and beyond. These unsuspecting victims were enticed with the allure of a brighter future under the pretext of job opportunities in Kenya.
