Police hold Lendu man
HOIMA — Bugambe Police have arrested a lendu Congolese refugee, Abrahim Tiba, who allegedly murdered his wife Farida Somasi. The acting officer in-charge of the police post, P.C Kibuuka, said Tiba suspected Somasi of having an affair with another lendu man. “We tried to rescue the situation but it was too late. The man continued to cut his wife even when we arrived. The woman died due to over bleeding,†Kibuuka said.
Herbalist jailed
HOIMA — A woman who underwent a traditional Hernia operation carried out by a lendu witch doctor has been admitted to Hoima Referral Hospital in a critical condition. Her body was reportedly rotting. A self styled Lendu witch doctor Okello Toso operated Sarah of hernia. Okello is one of the refugees from Congo. Reports say Okello used a pair of scissors to cut Sarah after convincing her that he had treated similar cases in Congo. The district police officer in-charge of CID, Patrick Rwenduru, said Okello was arrested. Sources at Hoima Hospital said there was little improvement.
