Beware of thieves using needles to sedate their victims

Don’t just shake the hands of a stranger. We received this from a concerned person and thought we would share.
Please be informed that armed thieves have recently come up with a more “efficient” method of disarming people.
They extend their Arm for a handshake after asking for directions, making it seem as though
they are thanking their victim but they have a needle, dipped in some sort of sedative, under their sleeve that makes one feel drowsy.
When their victim falls asleep, this seems to the general public as one who has fainted; they go ahead and move their victim to a convenient location posing as Good Samaritans, only to rob them!
Other than the loss of personal effects, there is also the risk of Contracting HIV/Aids or
hepatitis since the needles in use are highly Unlikely to be sterile!

A combination of anti riot police and regular police has shot bullets and tear gas into the groups of government aided students at Kyambogo and Nkumba University.

The students of Nkumba and Kyambogo universities staged strikes on Tuesday morning over allowances and poor sanitation. In the process the police bullets injured over five students of Kyambogo University and the good Samaritans rushed them to Mulago Hospital in critical condition. Also some students suffocated after the policemen reportedly fired tear gas in their rooms.

Business around Nkumba and Kyambogo universities also came to a standstill after the students’ lit fire in the middle of the roads.

The students blocked the roads this time protesting against the increasing police brutality in Kampala. The students also shattered door and window glasses of cars and buildings.
