47 Youth Rescued From Suspected Trafficking Ring in Nsangi
The Police at Nsangi Division have rescued 47 victims of alleged human trafficking. The victims, aged between 16 and 30, were rescued on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025. They were reportedly trafficked from various upcountry districts, including Mbarara, Bushenyi, Kabale, Ntungamo, Mityana, and the Busoga region.
According to SP Kawala Rachel, the PRO Kampala Metropolitan, the victims were allegedly lured with promises of online job opportunities after undergoing financial literacy training.
The successful rescue operation followed intelligence gathered from one of the victims who had earlier escaped from the camp.
The company responsible for recruiting the victims is Dream Visionaries, operating under Alliance in Motion Global. Efforts to arrest the company’s director are currently underway.
“Our investigations have revealed that the company exploits vulnerable youth, charging a registration fee of 150,000 shillings. Upon arrival, the victims are confined to small rooms and deprived of communication, as their phones are confiscated for six days. After this period, each victim is individually contacted and given a phone to call their family, demanding 1.5 million shillings as ‘start-up capital’,” Kawala explained.
The victims are currently in the care of Nsangi Police Division for further management and assistance.
