JINJA – The Police in Kamuli have mounted a hunt for Edward Kaiso – a traditional healer from Buwuula village in Bugulumbya sub-county, in Kamuli district over the death of Fatuma Kifuko, 35 and her newly born baby.
Kifuko reportedly developed labour pains on Sunday night and went to Kaiso’s home for redress. She, however, developed unforeseen complications immediately after giving birth to a baby boy who died moments later. Kifuko also bled to death prompting Kaiso to flee for dear life.
The deceased’s husband Geoffrey Kyalo narrated that Kifuko experienced intense labour pains prompting them to seek services from Kaiso due to lack of funds to rush her to Kamuli general hospital – located about 15 kilometres away.
Busoga North police spokesperson, Michael Kasadha said that the deceased’s body has been conveyed to Kamuli general hospital mortuary for post-mortem – adding that inquiries into the matter had been instituted. He challenged members of the general public to seek healthcare from professional medical practitioners rather than opting for traditional healers who lack the expertise to handle such complications.

18 Pokot Warriors Arrested In Nakapiripirit over Attempted Murder
MOROTO – At least 18 suspected Pokot warriors were arrested and detained at Nakapiripirit Police Station on charges of attempted murder at Kamurapus dam – a town bordering Katakwi districts.
The suspect warriors who were armed with bows and arrows were arrested on Sunday evening after attacking a Karimojong pastoralist who was fishing at Kamurapus dam.
Michael Longole -the Mt Moroto Regional Police Spokesperson identified the victim as Lokut Akoi, 20 – a resident of Nabata village, Loam parish, Loreng sub-county in Nakapiripirit district.
Longole said the victim was shot five times using a bow and arrows by the said 18 Pokot warriors who were tracking their stolen cattle.
According to Longole, the injured person was rushed to Matany Hospital for treatment. He said police had recovered 28 bows and arrows – which exhibits would be used against the suspects before the court for attempted murder.
“We warn the community against taking the law in their hands, we are realising it is becoming a common practice among our people,” reiterated Longole.
Early last week, four people were killed and several others critically injured following an ethnic clash between the Pian of Nakapiripirit and the Pokot of Amudat district. The victims were shot using bows and arrows and are suspected to have died from the injuries – their bodies haven’t been recovered up to date.
