According to Kiira Regional Police Spokesperson SP James Mubi, the witch doctor using his magic powers commonly known as ‘Juju’ performed the rituals in his shrine at night in the month of May 2023.
“He allegedly ordered the victim to undress for cleansing or to sprinkle magic greenish fluid all over her body. However, he ended up raping his patient,” SP Mubi said.
“The witch doctor purportedly sprinkled greenish magic water on the victim and later on raped her in disguise that the sexual intercourse was necessary for her healing process. He has been on the run but police have been working tirelessly to have him arrested,” he added.
The victim narrated to police that she paid 120,000= to the witch doctor to perform the May 2023 healing ritual. This was after experiencing ailments ranging from something moving in her stomach like a snake. And other virtual sexual intercourse against her in the night.
However, the victim alleges that after the cleansing, her life has not been the same. She says she experiences nightmares of the witch doctor threatening to kill her. This is if she discloses to authorities that she was raped.
SP Mubi appreciated the victim for her boldness in reporting the matter. He condemned the acts of ill intentions among some witch doctors.
They exploit people financially on top of harassing them sexually, especially women. He also called upon women who face the same to report to authorities.

![[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.
