According to Ussoke Division officer Thomas Mollel, the two police constables, Shaban Mbua and Jumanne Mrisho, went to a scene of robbery after they were informed that armed men were robbing the shop of Ibrahim Mohamed at Ussoke near the Bus Stand. He explained that when the police constables arrived near the scene at the corner of one house they took cover, but Mbua had a phone call and the mobile phone’s light exposed them to gangsters.
