ASP Kawala said the robbers put a roadblock at Bamujugu swamp on a border between Mityana and Kassanda districts.

The bus driver was prompted to stop at the road at Bamujugu swamp, and when he stopped, about ten people armed with two guns, sticks and hammers intercepted them and ordered the passengers to move out of the bus and lie down on the road along Mityana_ Kampala highway.

The passengers were robbed of unspecified amounts of money, and phones among other belongings, while those that resisted were beaten.
