Police in Mpigi district have kicked off investigations into circumstances under which 15 dead bodies were dumped at a village in the area by yet to be identified people.

Lydia Tumushabe, the police spokesperson for the Katonga Region, says that the LC1 chairman for Busese A village in Nkozi sub-county, Mpigi district was informed of a person identified as Aisha Kwagala transferring bodies of 15 people from Kyengera to have them buried in in Busese village.

“This was however rejected by the landlord who forced Kwagala and her team to carry their bodies back. It’s believed that the remains were later brought back deep in the night and dumped in Busese village where they had already prepared for burial and they just left them unburied,”Tumushabe stated.

The police spokesperson noted that after being stopped from burying the bodies, the group returned at night and dropped them whereas the graves that had been dug were also left open.

Consequently, Police removed the 15 bodies wrapped in backcloth and took them to Gombe hospital.

“The suspects are at large but inquiries into the offence of disturbing the peace of the dead registered under Nkz CRB: 005/2021 at Nkozi police station,”Tumushabe noted.

The territorial Police in Mpigi are investigating circumstances under which human remains of 15 (fifteen) deceased persons, that were exhumed from Kyengera Town Council on the 8/02/2021, by Aisha Kwagala, and transferred for reburial in Busese  “A” village, Nkozi  sub-county in Mpigi district, were abandoned at the proposed burial ground at around 5:15pm, that same day. That occurred after the owner  of the land at Busese “A” village blocked the reburial of the corpses on his property.

According to Police, the preliminary findings indicate that the exhumation and the transfer of the remains was controversial, since the family did not follow the right procedure of relocating the remains to their loved ones from Kyengera to another burial site. There was no agreement over the new burial site in Busese “A” village, and no court order authorising the exhumation and transfer of the remains.

Police further established that after Aisha Kwagala and her team were blocked from reburying the human remains, they pretended as if they were returning with the human remains to Kyengera, but in a dramatic turn of events, dumped all the remains at Busese “A” village and drove off.

Police emphasised that the public should know that it is unlawful for one to disturb or remove the remains of the deceased persons, without the lawful authorisation from court or consent from the next of kin.

“We shall endeavour to track down the suspects (relatives) on both sides for disturbing the peace of the dead, after they exhumed and abandoned their bodies in the open. Our task teams recovered the human remains wrapped in bark clothe with name tags that included; Nakamanya Kintu, Sam, Namusisi, Nsubuga x3, Nakabembe, Nalwoga, Zaina, Nakiwola, Sande, Mayombwe Emma, Benna, Nalwaga Jalia and Sebastian Kibem. All were transferred to Gombe Hospital for further examination,” the Police disclosed.

Police also confirmed that these were in skeleton form, not fresh bodies as alleged by what the force called conspiracy theorists and propagandists who have turned it a habit to misinform the public for their selfish reasons.

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Ronald Ssegawa, a resident of Bishop Mukwaya in Bwaise I in Kawempe division is suffering from excruciating pain following torture by his abductors.

Unidentified people kidnapped Ssegawa near Avis Company along Tula road a fortnight ago. According to his family, they searched for Ssegawa in various places in vain until his abductors dumped him near city mortuary on Saturday.

“We received a phone call from a doctor because previously, we had searched in here and luckily we left the picture of the missing person plus our contacts. We were shocked by the situation under which we found my brother in intensive care,” said Frank Kyeyune.

Mortuary attendants and security guards found Ssegawa unconscious wrapped in a big sack and rushed him to the casualty ward where he was transferred from to intensive care to save his life.

A security guard at the city mortuary in Mulago who spoke to Uganda Radio Network-URN on condition of anonymity said plain-clothed people with masked faces driving a vehicle with a covered number plate dropped off Ssegawa at around 10:00 pm.

“We saw a car parked near the gate, two men opened the boot and dropped out something we saw as a polythene bag on the roadside. We could not go there first. The car that had no number plate sped off. When we checked, we found a person still alive,” said the security guard.

Ssegawa’s brother, Frank Kyeyune says his sibling was badly tortured to the extent of plucking out fingernails from his left hand.

Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson has advised the family to report a case to the police to facilitate investigations. “They need to open up the case at the police near them to enable the investigations in this matter of Ssegawa,” said Onyango.

Several people have been arrested and tortured since the November protests triggered by the arrest of the National Unity Platform presidential candidate, Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine. The abductors sometimes come dressed in plain clothes, military, counter-terrorism or joint anti-terrorism task force –JATT uniforms.

The abductors grab their victims from their homes, streets, markets, garages. Recently, Internal Affairs Minister Gen Jeje Odongo tasked the Director of the Criminal Investigations Directorate –CID, Grace Akullo to probe the rampant abductions by suspected security personnel.
