In a breathtaking incident (see video below) that left onlookers in disbelief, a motorcycle thief was reportedly apprehended by a swarm of bees in Koboko district, Digital News Uganda reports.
Witnesses claim that the bees, believed to be summoned by a female traditional healer in the region, not only managed to detain the thief but also escorted him to the central police station in Koboko.
The unusual arrest came as the alleged thief tried to escape after stealing a motorcycle. Eyewitnesses say the swarm of bees seemingly appeared out of nowhere, surrounded the thief and immobilized him.
The bees, described as unusually large and aggressive, then proceeded to form what onlookers could only describe as makeshift handcuffs around the suspect.
The perplexed thief, still surrounded by the bee shackles, was led through the streets of Koboko to the central police station. To add to the spectacle, a crowd of astonished onlookers followed, alerting everyone in their path to the unusual arrest.
Upon arrival at the police station, confusion ensued as officers struggled with the unexpected turn of events. The bee-bound suspect stood in the middle of a growing crowd, with bystanders and law enforcement alike amazed at the unprecedented nature of the arrest.
Amid the chaos, a police officer was heard saying: “This has been arrested very well because no tear gas and no bullets were used.” The officer’s comment reflected the unique and non-violent nature of the arrest, which seemingly left police at a loss as to how to handle the situation.
Some police officers were seen taking out their phones and capturing the bizarre scene as it unfolded. However, the Central Police Station in Koboko has not yet released an official statement on the incident, leaving the public eagerly awaiting an explanation for this extraordinary event.
Rumors circulate that a female traditional healer in the area orchestrated the bees’ intervention as a form of mystical justice.
As the story continues to captivate the community, many are wondering if this will mark a new era of unconventional law enforcement in Koboko District or if it is simply an extraordinary one-off event.
