But why did you bury him with money? Thieves finally vandalize Ivan Ssemwanga’s grave

Ivan Ssemwanga was buried in an expensive coffin plus money was thrown in his grave. Tomb raiders have finally made a move on Ivan’s grave six months later.

Ivan was laid to rest on May 30th in his rural home in Nakalilo village, Kayunga District, Central Uganda. The fallen rich gang member was accorded a sendoff that befitted his expensive lifestyle.

Members of the Rich Gang which was founded by Ivan threw unknown amount of money in his grave before the coffin was lowered in.

Ivan’s family feared tomb raiders could exhume the body to steal the expensive coffin bought in South Africa and the money which was thrown in the grave.

The family sought police protection to guard Ivan’s grave immediately after the burial. The police protection was later replaced by private guards.

Family defaulted on monthly payments

Apparently Ivan’s family has not been paying the private guard they hired to keep guard their kin’s grave.The guards left their posts over delayed salaries.

New Vision reports that Ivan’s family was supposed to pay the guards Ush 1 million or Kes 28,000 a month. The family however only paid them Ush 600,000/Kes 17,000 for the first month and didn’t pay them henceforth.

On Tuesday night December 5th vandals attempted to exhume Ivan’s body. The thieves knew the guards were not on duty when they went to dig up Ivan’s grave.

The vandals were however scared away by family dogs. They took off as the dogs barked in their direction.
