According to the reports filed with the Kanungu Central Police Station, the alleged incidents unfolded over the course of July 2023.
Akim, the accused, is said to have befriended a young student, Nahabwe Travor, from Butogota Rutwe cell. The two were seen together at a local bar before heading to Kamugisha’s residence late at night.
It is alleged that culprit forcibly subjected Travor to a distressing ordeal, capturing the horrific act on video.
In an unfortunate turn of events, Travor was threatened with public humiliation if he dared to share the incident with anyone. Consequently, this threat led to Travor’s silence and his subsequent victimization.
In another related incident, an individual, Iragaba Brendan, reportedly fell prey to Kamugisha’s sinister intentions.
The accused lured Brendan into believing he had secured a job opportunity at the esteemed Amber Heart of Singer Bebe Cool.
The news was met with excitement, and Brendan even received a sum of money for supposed transportation.
However, the situation took a chilling turn when Brendan visited Kamugisha’s residence as instructed. Locked inside, he found himself fighting off an attempted assault, managing to escape the clutches of the alleged perpetrator.
The shocking encounter prompted Brendan to dig deeper into Kamugisha’s history, revealing a disturbing pattern of alleged abuse.
The unsettling revelations also caused a ripple effect within the tight-knit community, leaving both victims traumatized.
The accused, Kamugisha, appeared in court on the 3rd of August, 2023, facing multiple charges.
This includes two counts of Aggravated Trafficking in Persons, one count of Trafficking in Persons, one count of Rape, and an additional count of Attempted Rape.
The gravity of the charges has prompted authorities to remand Kamugisha to Kanungu prison until the 17th of August, 2023, when the case is set for mention.

![[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.
