A court has heard that Moses Omaido, a 47-year-old Principal Human Resource Officer at the Local Government Finance Commission, was discovered dead from stab wounds on March 26, 2026. The prosecution alleges that Omaido had a sexual encounter with two women, one of whom is the accused, Jaliah Nakimera, 27, just hours before his death.

An altercation reportedly occurred between Omaido and Nakimera in the early morning of the day he was found. The Kira Chief Magistrates Court committed Nakimera to the High Court on Monday to face charges of murder. The details emerged as prosecution presented its evidence, painting a grim picture of the events leading up to Omaido’s demise.

The court heard that Omaido, a senior figure in public finance management, had spent time with Nakimera and another woman prior to the fatal incident. The exact nature of the relationship and the events of that night are expected to be central to the upcoming trial. Nakimera will now answer to the murder charge before High Court judges.

This development marks a significant step in the investigation, moving the case from preliminary hearings to a full trial where evidence will be scrutinized. The circumstances surrounding the death of the public official are deeply concerning, highlighting the tragic consequences that can arise from personal disputes.

Further details regarding the investigation and the prosecution’s case will be revealed during the High Court proceedings. Source: Daily Monitor
