Mr Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson, said the suspect injected Nakimera with a syringe. This contained what is police suspect to be a poisonous substance on April 20 at around 4 pm.
Ms Nakimera, a salon owner in Kyotera Town, was then rushed to Bulamu Clinic and later transferred to Byansi’s Clinic in Masaka City in critical condition. She later succumbed to the poison on April 23, at around 6:30 pm.
Police authorities have urged the public to desist from acts of violence in relationships.
“We strongly condemn such acts of violence against rivals in relationships. Jealous behaviours can be destructive like in this very aspect, yet the Family Protection Units have mechanisms in place of resolving family disputes,” he said yesterday during the police weekly press conference in Naguru, Kampala.
In a related incident, the police in Ntungamo district last year arrested a woman who allegedly stole her co-wife’s baby. Sylvia Ahimbisibwe, 36, was the culprit and second wife to the father of the baby, Joshua Ahumuza.
Police nabbed Ahimbisibwe from her hideout in Isingiro district after she abandoned the baby in a banana plantation in Ntungamo. She allegedly stole the baby from the maid before abandoning it on the plantation.
The Kigezi Police spokesperson Elly Maate said they recorded a case of child trafficking at Kabale Central Police Station.
Maate also added that the baby went missing from the parents’ home in Kikungiri on Sunday.
According to Maate, Ahimbisibwe is a known businesswoman and resident of Ntungamo district. He said the child was fortunately recovered by a good Samaritan alive and healthy from the banana plantation where it had been dumped.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
