Police in Uganda are holding a Chinese national over allegedly attempting to defraud Uganda Airlines by masquerading.
The gentleman whose names are withheld had in their possession fake letters of authorization purportedly from Uganda airlines allowing his company called Beijing Gendui Gengdui International travel Agency Co. Ltd to carry out business on behalf of the airline as it’s official sales agent in China.
The Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigire said the individuals are currently detained at Entebbe main police station.
Owoyesigire said the suspect was found in possession of several suspected forged government letters including one from foreign affairs minister Gen Jeje Odong.
When contacted the Uganda Airlines Public Relations Manager Ms Shakira Rahim said the national carrier raised alarm after officials from China called to confirm whether the suspect was doing business on their behalf.
Shakira said the suspect obtained an introduction letter after he heard that the airline was set to directly charter business to Beijing.
