The territorial Police in Kamengo, raided a shrine at Masazi village, Kmengo sub-county, in Mpigi District and arrested Magambo Musa alias Mulangira Musoga over allegations that he sexually assaulted two female siblings and impregnated them.
Magambo Musa also known as Mulangira Musoga allegedly lured the girls in August 2019 when they visited his shrine in Mpigi for traditional cleansing.
Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga says that the two sisters aged 16 and 18 were convinced that the cleansing could only work through sexual intercourse. He adds that because of their young age, the duo could not make a decision to walk away.
Magambo allegedly told the teenagers to keep around his shrine for somedays. While there, they were sexually abused every night inside the shrines. The girls later revealed the ordeal to their relatives who alerted the police about Magambo’s actions.
Police condemned the acts of would-be-helpers, who betray the trust, given to them by vulnerable victims but instead end up abusing them.
“We have dispatched our counsellors from the Child and Family division, to try and take the victims through some form of counselling about their condition,” said Police mouth Piece Fred Enanga.
Enanga says the investigators are trying to reconstruct and document the scenes of crime, trace for incriminating evidence and send the file to the DPP.
