A body of 25-year-old Ugandan business man who was  shot dead in Rwanda has been repatristed to Kibale district for burial ceremony.

Justus Kabagambe commonly known as Kadogo, a resident of Rutare village in Butanda sub-county, Kabale district was shot on 18th August at Kitovu village in Burera district, Northern Province in Rwanda.

According to Bahika, the incident occurred about half a kilometre away from the Uganda-Rwanda border. He says that Kabagambe was intercepted by Rwanda security personnel while carrying sachets of waragi and cosmetics. Bahika says that after he was shot, his body was taken to Butaro hospital mortuary in Burera town.

While receiving the body on Sunday,Maate Elly, the Kigezi Region Police spokesperson revealed that police was yet to ascertain the circumstances under which Kabagambe was shot.

He advised locals against illegally crossing into Rwanda because it becomes difficult for Uganda to provide them with protection.

Kabagambe joins a list of both Ugandan and Rwandan nationals to be killed by Rwandan security personnel on accusations of smuggling in Rwanda. Rwanda closed its borders with Uganda on February 27, 2019.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame issued a travel advisory to his nationals against travelling to Uganda, saying their safety is not guaranteed. He accused Ugandan authorities of abducting Rwandan citizens and locking them up in non-designated areas.

The Rwandan authorities advised the truck drivers to use the Mirama Hill border in Ntungamo district. The border closure took a huge toll on truck drivers and suffocated businesses along the border especially Katuna and Chanika town.

This led to an increase in smuggling along the border with most Rwandan nationals crossing to Uganda through porous border points to buy food.urn
