A young man reportedly ran mad last week after charms were poured on him.

The man, only identified as Umar, was bathing in a makeshift bathroom when an unidentified person poured the contents of a pot on him.

Residents said the charms included chicken heads, human hair, claws and a mixture of blood and herbs.

They said Umar began squeaking and growling and refused to get out of the bathroom.

He was then taken to a shrine on Masaka Road after doctors reportedly failed to treat him.

The residents said a man whose son was jailed over a debt with Umar, could have been responsible for the incident.
