Mother spends Shs 8 million in futility searching for kidnapped sons

Solome Nakibuuka
December 8, 2020, will forever stay inked in the memory of Solome Nakibuuka, 44, a resident of Busabala, Wakiso district. It’s the day when her two sons; 23-year-old Denis Matovu and 25-year-old Richard Sonko went missing.
Nakibuuka says her sons were cab drivers, with Sonko often chauffeuring money-loaded South Sudanese nationals around Kampala city while Matovu was a gig driver, chauffeuring randomly anyone who wanted special hire car services.
On the day they were kidnapped, Nakibuuka says Matovu left home at around 6:00 am, going to meet his brother Sonko at Lukuli-Nanganda trading centre in Makindye, who had got him a gig of driving a lawyer for a full day. He did not communicate with any of them during the day.
