Kampala Uganda
A-14-year-old boy, who had just completed the Primary Leaving Examinations at Reachout Primary School in Uganda, escaped a kidnapon Saturday. Sharif Kayanja, son of Hamada Ssentamu of Nateete Factory Zone, was let off the hook after he was found to be circumcised.
An unidentified man and woman, who were travelling in a grey Toyota Corona car, stopped at Ssentamu’s shop and asked his daughter, Hanifa Nabanja, 13, to give them three bottles of Lucozade worth sh6,000, MTN airtime worth shs25,000 and sh19,000 in cash.
They said they would go with someone to bring a sh50,000 note. Nabanja asked her brother Kayanja, who was digging in the neighbour’s garden, to go with the couple to pick the money. Kayanja took the back seat and the couple asked him to direct them to Masaka Road.
On reaching Wakaliga Road, the man stopped the vehicle and the woman, who was seated on the co-driver’s seat, joined Kayanja. “I did not know these people, but I thought they wanted to take me and give me our money. I was not scared to go in their car. But I was shocked when the woman unzipped my trousers and checked my private parts.
When she saw that I was a Muslim, she told the man to stop the car. She pushed me out of the vehicle at Wakaliga Road near the market,’’ Kayanja said. He said the woman told him to run without looking back. “They saw me coming out of the house and thought I had marked their numbercar plate and decided to drop him, but I do not know what I would have told his father,’’ said Mama Alaisa, Kayanja’s guardian.
