A security guard told police they planned to rob Diamond Trust Bank because they had not been paid after months without wages. Justin Okello came forward after police shot his partner Emmanuel Okao during their Sunday break-in attempt at the Kavumba branch where both men worked. The guards hid on the ceiling with loaded guns when officers arrived based on a tip. They removed their uniforms, hoping people would think outsiders had robbed the place.
Police found Okao had sent his family to their village before the crime. He told relatives he would travel to Congo for a long time after the heist. Officers recovered two guns with five bullets each from the scene. Okello admitted they planned the robbery because of money problems from missed paychecks. Police are checking with GKA Security Company about the unpaid salary claims.
