THE MATTER OF HARUNA JUMA v. UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA APPLICATION NO. 034/2016

Abstract

It emerges from the record that, on the night of 9 to 10 February 2000, the Applicant and other persons not before the Court broke into the home of Mr Bushesha Manyuga located in the village of Ipala, District of Nzega (Tabora Region). They forced him to hand over the sum of Tanzanian Shillings Seventy-Five Thousand (TSH 75,000). After the assailants had fled, the victim’s wife managed to call for help, prompting the arrival of neighbours. Thus, the victim and the villagers gave chase and were able to catch up with the robbers who still had the weapon and the extorted money in their possession.
