Six people including two children have been rescued from a shrine in Mpigi District.
The police alongside Mpigi Resident Commissioner, Mr. Hassan Kasibante and leaders of Uganda’s traditional healers union carried out an operation on various shrines where two men, two women, and two children were found malnourished inside a shrine.
The victims who could barely talk and walk were inside a shrine located in Kawoomya village, Buwama Sub-county.
Two of the victims claimed that traditional spirits do not allow them to eat cooked food, profess refuted by Sophia Namutebi aka Maama Fiina who is the leader of one of the factions of traditional healers. Mr. Kasibante directed police to put the victims in the Patrol vehicle and were taken to Mpigi Health Centre IV. END
