Madina Nakyeyune, a traditional healer operating in Kiboga Town Council, has been convicted on multiple charges including human sacrifice, murder, and human trafficking.
The conviction follows the grim discovery of a decapitated body, identified as Namanda, in Kirurumba Village on June 12, 2024. The incident sent shockwaves through the community.
Prior to her arrest and subsequent trial, Nakyeyune was reportedly a respected figure, often visited by residents and local politicians seeking consultations and ritual cleansing at her shrine. Her public persona as a traditional healer seemed to mask the alleged horrific crimes.
The police investigation and court proceedings have brought Nakyeyune’s alleged illicit activities to light, exposing a stark contrast to her former public image. The court’s decision marks a significant development in the case, highlighting the serious nature of the charges brought against her.
Further details on the legal proceedings and sentencing are expected as the case progresses.
