On April 2, 2025, at around 10:00 AM, the Uganda Police, following a tip-off, rescued 51 victims from a human trafficking operation involving AIM Global Alliance, a networking company in the Nagalama division.
According to the police, victims were promised job opportunities but were instead coerced into paying fees for training. Each victim was instructed to pay 150,000 UGX upon arrival, which was supposedly for training purposes.
After taking their phones, the suspects then began recruiting the victims' friends and even called their relatives, asking for an additional 1.5 million UGX to purchase products for resale.
They promised the victims that they would eventually earn up to 1 million UGX, depending on how many people they could recruit and the sales they made.
