Kampala Police has intercepted a vehicle and rescued two children from suspected kidnappers who had asked for three million Uganda shillings ransom from the parents.
According to the children, suspects tricked them into moving with them to buy some cakes and later disappeared with them without the consent of the parents.
Their father Hajji Musa Muliika on Sunday morning reported to Bweyogerere Police Station after his children indentified as Nakula Mulika Rahma and Mulika Diin Tajudiin went missing from home in Kigandazi Zone – Bweyogerere.

On realising that police was closing down on them, the suspects drove the children back to Kireka and were intercepted in a vehicle Toyota Hiace registration number UBB 724M.
The children were found in good health and have been re-united with their parents.

The OC. Bweyogerere ASP. Mike Mugabe said the suspects who are facing kidnap related charges are currently detained at Kira Division Police Station to help in investigations before being arraigned in court and the vehicle suspected to have been used in commission of the crime has been impounded.
