Kanungu: 28-year old man charged for sodomising student

In Kanungu district, an unsettling case has emerged, shaking the foundations of the community and shedding light on the often-hidden struggles faced by vulnerable individuals.

The local police in Kanungu recently registered a case against a 28-year-old resident of Butogota central ward, Akim Kamugisha, alleging acts of homosexuality that have left the community grappling with questions of exploitation, consent, and justice.

According to the reports filed with the Kanungu Central Police Station, the alleged incidents unfolded over the course of July 2023. Akim Kamugisha, the accused, is said to have befriended a young student, Nahabwe Travor, from Butogota Rutwe cell. The two were seen together at a local bar before heading to Kamugisha’s residence late at night.

It is alleged that Kamugisha forcibly subjected Travor to a distressing ordeal, capturing the horrific act on video. In an unfortunate turn of events, Travor was threatened with public humiliation if he dared to share the incident with anyone. This threat led to Travor’s silence and his subsequent victimization.

Disturbingly, it wasn’t an isolated incident. Another individual, Iragaba Brendan, reportedly fell prey to Kamugisha’s sinister intentions. The accused lured Brendan into believing he had secured a job opportunity at the esteemed Amber Heart of Singer Bebe Cool. The news was met with excitement, and Brendan even received a sum of money for supposed transportation.

However, the situation took a chilling turn when Brendan visited Kamugisha’s residence as instructed. Locked inside, he found himself fighting off an attempted assault, managing to escape the clutches of the alleged perpetrator. The shocking encounter prompted Brendan to dig deeper into Kamugisha’s history, revealing a disturbing pattern of alleged abuse.

The unsettling revelations caused a ripple effect within the tight-knit community, leaving both victims traumatized. As the truth gradually emerged, concerned individuals rallied behind the victims, demanding justice and accountability.

The accused, Kamugisha, appeared in court on the 3rd of August, 2023, facing multiple charges, including two counts of Aggravated Trafficking in Persons, one count of Trafficking in Persons, one count of Rape, and an additional count of Attempted Rape. The gravity of the charges has prompted authorities to remand Kamugisha to Kanungu prison until the 17th of August, 2023, when the case is set for mention.

The case has ignited discussions around the importance of safeguarding vulnerable individuals and the need for a more inclusive dialogue about such sensitive matters. The community of Kanungu is now grappling with the shocking reality that such exploitation can happen within its own boundaries, and the court proceedings have become a focal point for reflection and change.
