Police also impounded a premio car they were travelling in and discovered that they had two women and two men of Eritrean origin and a Kenyan driver, Mr Edwin Ainok Amuse who took them to thier boss Mr.David Bahati and was also arrested.
The Eritreans were reportedly brought to Uganda to reunite with their relatives living in Kabalagala, Kampala.

“These people did not have travel documents but their destination was Kabalagala. We have established that their relatives were aware of the move and they were waiting for them. They had collaborated with these Kenyans to sneak them into Uganda,” Mr Muhangi said.
Mr Muhangi said Mr Ainok and Mr Bahati are currently detained at Nalufenya, a high profile detention facility in Jinja District.
