Video from Uganda<\/h2>\n

A Keyword search on YouTube led Alt News to a June 30, 2019 video which suggested that the incident took place in Uganda. As per the description, “The Uganda Police in Kampala are currently investigating a gruesome murder of a boda boda rider, by two unidentified robbers on Friday night who murdered him as he was driving them to an unknown destination.”\u00a0<\/em> Boda Boda is a motorcycle taxi service common in East Africa. The victim wasn’t giving a lift but was taking passengers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also found various articles and videos from multiple African websites, including Softpower News <\/em><\/a>and SDE<\/em><\/a>, which said that the video is of a robbery that took place on June 29, 2019 in Kampala district, Uganda. The incident was captured on CCTV cameras of a nearby nursery and primary school.\u00a0 The robbers posed as clients and attacked a Boda Boda rider, strangled and hit him with a stone repeatedly to kill him.<\/span><\/p>\n
