IT is unacceptable in most cultures for one to have sexual relations with a relative, but 43-year-old Simon Ojera allegedly forced his mother into sex.
Ojera, of Widhyang village,
Kucwiny sub-county in Nebbi district, is being held at Nebbi police station for allegedly raping his 68-year-old mother.
It is alleged that Ojera, who was arrested on Monday, had a quarrel with his mother last week after he returned home from a drinking joint and followed her to the room, where he allegedly raped her.
“Ojera came home when he was drunk and started a quarrel with me, before he raped me in my house,†the victim said in a statement recorded by the Police.
The victim later reported the matter to Nebbi Police station, where the suspect was detained.
Alex Wabwire, the Nebbi district police commander confirmed Ojera’s detention.
“We have have submitted his file to the resident state attorney, Vincent Obale, for sanctioning,†Wabwire said.
Wabwire said the accused had
been charged with rape.
Paul Omara, the Nebbi district deputy criminal investigations officer, said Ojera was examined on Tuesday in Nebbi Hospital and found mentally fit.
But Ojera, who is still in custody at Nebbi police Station, denied the allegations, although he had earlier admitted to have committed the crime.
