A 17-year-old student in Uganda has been captured by the police for allegedly bringing in and selling 170 young individuals in violation of the law.
The police said they caught a high school student in central Uganda on September 18th.
The police say that a student had 170 young people stay at a 28-year-old woman’s home. They were waiting for transportation to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. The student had promised the young people jobs there.
But the Ugandan Police Force said on Tuesday that the trafficking plan was a fraud.
“After being questioned, the student confessed that he wanted to trick the victims into giving him money by pretending to be associated with Humble Company in Kenya. ” The Uganda Police Force stated that the job advertisement for waiters, waitresses, coffee parkers, and supermarket attendants in Kenya was fake because there was no relationship with the company.
