Budaka, Uganda: Police in Budaka District have launched investigations into the suspected murder of Nagi Mohammed, 38, whose body was discovered on Wednesday morning, sparking fear and concern among residents.
According to the Budaka District Incident Report, Nagi, a resident of Nyanza South village, received a phone call on Tuesday evening from an unidentified individual instructing him to meet at Mailo 5 trading centre. He left home at around 8:00 PM but never returned. His body was found the following morning, lying unresponsive.
District CID Officer D/SP Kwebiiha Sarapio led a homicide team, canine unit, and Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) to examine the scene.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Kyempasa Wilfred, the Bukedi North Region Spokesperson, confirmed that the body showed no visible injuries. “Preliminary findings suggest Nagi may have been killed elsewhere and his body later dumped at the scene,” Kyempasa said.
Canine investigations led officers to a deserted washing bay about 50 metres from where the body was recovered. No arrests have yet been made. Police have appealed to the public to share any information that could help identify the killers.
The deceased’s body has been taken to Mbale City Mortuary for a postmortem examination. Local leaders are urging residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies to restore calm and bring those responsible to justice.
