He tried calling the Kabagambe but he could not answer. The deceased later called Kadoma and told him that he had got a lift and that they should meet at Kisenyi in Fort Portal City. Later the deceased again shortly called the complainant pleading that he should send him money UGX 2, 000, 0000= very urgently. He never mentioned the reason why nor discloses where he was. Then the victim’s phone went off completely.
