My client has become a victim of a fraudulent scheme involving officials from Dfcu Bank, a financial institution based in Uganda. The individuals in question are Viola Nassali, reachable at +256778950189 or +256312300818; Charles Mudiiywa at +256312300294; and Angela Ndamakula at +256773869591.
The situation escalated as my client was unwittingly embroiled in a case involving a prominent businessman. Dfcu Bank misappropriated over $2.6 million belonging to my client, who was in the process of seeking investment for an oil refinery project. In pursuit of assistance, my client sought aid from a Ugandan businessman who operates a company in London, among other locations.
In a troubling turn of events, the bank facilitated a connection for my client to one of its corporate account holders. Subsequently, the bank executed a transfer of my client’s funds to an account purportedly belonging to the Ugandan businessman and the corporate client. Despite reporting the incident to local law enforcement, my client faced significant obstacles as the bank took measures to obstruct our entry into Uganda.
We eventually contacted the corporate client mentioned by the bank, who professed ignorance regarding the $2.6 million transfer into his accounts and recommended that we pursue legal action against the bank to recover the funds. Unfortunately, my client’s accounts were subsequently frozen and closed.
To further complicate matters, we later discovered through media reports that the corporate client, to whom the bank had allegedly transferred funds, also had his accounts closed. Communication with the bank has been limited to interactions through a young journalist named John Kenny Adeya, whose image we have documented. This image is what has been used on his WhatsApp number which has become unreachable lately.
Recently, I made an attempt to enter Uganda but faced denial of entry at the border, where I was refused a visa. My only interaction was with the aforementioned journalist, who ultimately deceived me out of $36,700 after promising assistance from both the State House and the Central Bank of Uganda.
This situation underscores a serious breach of trust and legal responsibility, warranting immediate attention and appropriate remedial actions to secure justice for my client.
