Nine-year old goes missing from parents’ home in Makindye

A nine year old girl has been kidnapped.

Rebecca Katushabe, the mother believes her nine year old daughter Nakacwa Jemimah was picked at around 2:00PM on Sunday from their house in Makindye, Nakinyuguzi zone or around the compound.

Katushabe noted that she left Nakacwa in the sitting room while watching TV and went to her bedroom to rest.

An hour later, she came out of the bedroom only to find that the child was nowhere to be seen. She then tried to look for her around the neighborhood but no one knew her (Nakacwa’s) whereabouts.

“I have reason to believe she was kidnapped because she is not the kind who leaves the house just to socialize,” Katushabe says.

Nakachwa is the latest in a long line of kidnap victims.

Recently, police recovered the body of Maria Nagirinya who went missing for two days.  Her body was discovered on Friday near a swamp at Nakitutuli along the Mukono-Kayunga road in Nama Sub County. The body was found covered with dry grass and had cuts on the head.

Unknown gunmen kidnapped Nagirinya, a project manager at Community Integrated Development Initiative (CIDI), a Kampala-based Non-Governmental Organisation, together with the driver at the gate of her residence where she rents in Lungujja, near Busega in Wakiso District.

Nakachwa’s case has been recorded at Katwe police station under reference number SD REF16/08/09/2019. In case of any information about this missing child please contact 0781884220 0r 0757617551.
