The boy is mine, claims Isabirye's 'some' woman

Following media reports of radio consultant Joel Isabirye’s plans to walk down the aisle with his fiancée Rebecca Jjingo come December 6, a UK-based nkuba kyeyo called Ritah Kaggwa last week crawled out of the woodwork.

She claimed to be Isabirye’s wife from way back and that she had just given birth to Isabirye’s baby boy. She even went on Facebook and launched a smear campaign on Isabirye and his fiancée. Upon responding on her page that he didn’t know her, Isabirye got a severe backlash from Ritah’s kyeyo pals.

And just when we were trying to wrap our heads around this, a UK-based lawyer called Charles Eliba has jumped into the fray, wondering why his wife Rita is running after Isabirye.

Eliba says Ritah, whose maiden name is Ritah Namayega and not Ritah Kaggwa, has two children with him.

Eliba has gone on to email us Ritah’s documents, in which Ritah shares his last name. Rita’s UK passport, numbered 500973837, and student’s identity card from London Metropolitan University, both state her name as Ritah Eliba.

“We got married on May 27, 2007 by civil registration at the Uganda Registration Bureau in Kampala, and Rita’s father Apollo Kaggwa, whose surname she’s using on facebook, was one of the witnesses,” said Eliba, who also sent us a copy of their marriage certificate, numbered 8239.

He says he does not know what Ritah is up to in clinging onto Isabirye and his fiancée, but that whatever it is, it’s disturbing.

Meanwhile, Isabirye’s engagement is on the line as the bubbly Rebecca Jjingo, who also happens to be a radio presenter and singer, is finding it hard to believe Isabirye doesn’t know Ritah.

Could this be the work of one of the women in Isabirye’s past life, or Ritah and Isabirye actually come from way back?

“I don’t know what that so-called Ritah is talking about. It’s likely someone is framing me since they see me about to be happily married. I don’t know Ritah, period,” said an incensed Isabirye when Blitz called him.
