The footage dates back to 2018.
What is true is that Uganda has witnessed a sheaf of robberies in the last quarters of 2024, some very tactical and many recorded on camera, especially in Kampala.
However, plenty of questionable robbery claims are sprouting and are adding fire to the already worrying situation, something security warns against.
This particular video claiming a man is beaten up and robbed from around Usafi Market is not a recent occurrence and not one of the very many videos in the past few months of 2024 involving blindsided hits and robberies.
Pesa Check an East African fact-checking initiative did a detailed fact-check that dates the above video back to 2018.
