Wakiso, (UG): A couple at Abaita Ababiri cell in Katabi Town Council, Entebbe Municipality have run away from their home after locals allegedly caught them red-handed in acts of witchcraft and night dancing.
A local media outlet EntebbePost reported that the couple (whose identities were not available by press time) was found naked in people’s homes on Sunday night practicing night dancing and instead chose to leave the village after being ashamed.
The residents in the area, led by the Chairperson Abbey Ssebowa and Joseph Busuku say the couple had for long been destructing their work on the village through night dancing and excessive witchcraft.
“None of the two denied anything and have always been engaging in the bad practices that led to bringing society into disrepute and thus decided to leave the village peacefully,” one of the residents said.
The meeting that was also attended by the officer in charge of Abaita Ababiri Police Station agreed that the two should not return to the village after confessing to engaging in such acts.
The husband was previously a witch doctor at Bendegere village, Katabi Town Council. He was chased from the village and later found solace in Nakato Gertrude’s home who later became her lover.
More than 5 people confessed and the two did not deny engaging in the acts by the time of the meeting, the two had already shifted their property from Abaita Ababiri to a new cell within Katabi Town Council.
Night Dancing, known in the local dialect of Luganda as “okusera” is an act where a person allegedly embodied with spirits, moves out of their homes in the night and starts running into people’s banana plantations, homes and graveyards naked.
