KAMULI- A joint security operation has bust a counterfeit dollar racket in Buwagi, Kamuli District, and arrested 22 suspects.
The operation followed security intelligence reports that Buwagi had become a den of robbers where many residents were tortured.
Mr Robert Mutemo, the resident district commissioner (RDC), while parading the suspects at Kamuli Central Police Station at the weekend, described the group as “a highly organised gang cell known as Buwagi Republic, with associates, coordinators and marketers.”
He added that the group has grown into an election mafia, adding that at the height of their operations, they robbed an Iganga-based businessman of Shs30m in a fake dollar deal.
