A man, claiming to be a former student of Makerere University and an employee of the Presidents Office, Bogere Mugogo Nathan was nabbed conning Freshers of money (read tuition).
This happened on Monday August 6th at the Faculty of Arts, Makerere University. Mugogo, claiming to be a holder of a master’s degree in Education from Makerere University had conned, the previous Friday, one Kyolaba Florence who is a vaccist from Kajjansi progressive of 65,000/= claiming that he had access to the Admission office of Makerere. “He showed me the identity card for the deputy president of Makerere University and I believed him”, says Florence. Mugogo then immediately brought her an admission letter and bank slips.
The admission letter indicated that Kyolaba had been admitted for a Bachelor’s Degree of Arts in Arts at Makerere on the private sponsorship scheme, which she also knew. He also told Florence that she had delayed to pick her admission for the course and that’s why she lost her place on government sponsorship.
Mr. Mugogo then went ahead to request Florence to bring 700,000/= for payment of tuition of her course. The official tuition amount for Arts in Arts is 450,000/=.
Kyolaba, on taking her bank slips home realized that they were not stamped and came to the faculty office on the fateful Monday for clarification.
“When I saw the letter, I realized it was fake, I looked into the records and found that her actual registration letter was here uncollected but with a different registration number from that of the fake letter.” says Mr. Watsoma Moses who’s in charge of admissions in Faculty of Arts. The administrators then laid a trap for the unsuspecting conman by having Kyolaba summon him up on his mobile phone to pick up the remaining tuition money. It did not take long for him to show up at the faculty premises where he was immediately apprehended.
Mugogo had on himself certificates of a November 2003 Masters Degree in education from Makerere University and an Identity card of Presidents office issued of February 2004 to him as Deputy director of Education,. He also possessed an old Makerere university identity card of him as a third year Bachelors of Education student and a resident of University Hall. However, the ID card had uncorresponding serial numbers at the font and at its back. Mugogo also had an Identity card identifying him as a Head Teacher at St Joseph Mixed Day and boarding SSS Katosi, issued on 20th may this year by the District chairman on behalf of Mukono District Private Schools Association.
Mugogo carried on himself several certificates of teacher Training courses especially from Kyambogo.
