Upon arrest, he claimed that the package of counterfeit currency was intended to be transported to Juba through Classic Bus.

“I was contacted by Mr. Musa Adam, a resident of Juba, who instructed me to meet an unknown individual in town who would provide me with the package,” Nkurunugi told police

According to him, he met the stranger near Total Katwe, close to BMK House who gave him the sealed box before proceededy to Namayiba Bus Terminal to deliver a box.

While at the bus park, the suspect handed over the sealed box to Classic Bus staff, only known as Harriet, who acknowledged the package, and suspect departed.

“Subsequently, Kenneth was called back to retrieve the package, only to discover that it had been left behind. Police officers intervened, leading to his arrest,” said Owoyesigyire
