{{Uganda Police is holding over 60 Rwandans who are accused of entering the country illegally.}}<\/p>\n

The suspects being detained at Kabale Police station are aged between 18 and 30 years are were arrested in Kabale district that boarders Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The Kigezi sub-region police spokesman, Mr Elly Maate, said the accused persons were arrested on Tuesday at around 1:30pm at Kabaraga Hill on the Kabale-Kampala road after they were found without any travel documents.<\/p>\n

The accused people, who were travelling in a bus, said they were going to work in tea estates in Mityana District.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe they entered Uganda through the porous borderline in the sub-counties of Rubaya and Butanda in Kabale District,\u201d Mr Maate said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cKnowing that security is tight in Kabale Town, they used boda-boda motorcycles to transport them to a hideout a few kilometres on the Kabale-Kampala road from where they boarded the bus. We managed to arrest them before they travelled 10km from Kabale Town at Kabaraga Hills,\u201d Mr Maate added.<\/p>\n

One of the suspects said they came to Uganda to do menial jobs in tea estates to earn a living, adding that there are no job opportunities in Rwanda. <\/p>\n
