Police in Greater Masaka and CPS Masaka have arrested 22 coordinators and staff of Super Life Company Ltd on charges of trafficking in persons.
The company allegedly mobilised and recruited persons under a fraudulent employment and business scheme.
According to preliminary findings by police, the group basically targeted S.4 and S.6 leavers whom they introduced to their various packages.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga noted that most of the victims were recruited from the Western districts of Ntungamo, Mbarara, Bushenyi, Kabale and Kiruhura.
“So far, a total of 98 victims (27 females and 71 males) have recorded their statements indicating how they were fleeced of their money through registration. Many are forced to rent cheap rooms in the slums with the false hope of a lucrative job package,” he said.

Further, Enanga highlighted that a search was conducted at their offices on Muteesa Plaza and several exhibits were recovered.
