A man has been arrested in Kampala after traders allegedly uncovered a scheme in which he falsely claimed that his young son was suffering from a cancerous tumor to solicit money from members of the public.
According to eyewitnesses, the man had been moving around with the child, appealing for financial assistance while claiming the boy required urgent medical treatment.
Suspicious traders reportedly confronted the man and demanded that he remove what they described as a fake plastered wound from the child's body.
The incident drew a crowd before the suspect was apprehended and handed over to police for further investigation.
