Conning people came to an abrupt end for this man who had been taking millions from helpless citizens – The East Observer
Any parent would be happy to see their son or daughter get a job after school, and this was my case when my son completed Form Four.
This is my story: My son completed his Form Four last year and intended to join the forces with the help of someone who had assured us of high-end connections in the army. The man, who introduced himself as Isaac, asked us to give him Ksh 100,000 to help secure things so that my son could finally join the career of his choice.
We had to raise the money. We sold bags of maize, beans, animals, and many other household items to gather the money, which I eventually gave in installments.
My son was enthusiastic about joining the police force, and it was more affordable for us to see him join the forces and recover our money than to afford expensive university training, which we couldn’t afford.
However, something bad happened immediately after we paid the last installment of Ksh 45,000; Isaac’s phone went silent, and we thought he was busy pushing our agenda through offices. We thought he did not want any distractions. He remained silent for the second week, and we kept our fingers crossed with hopes that he would finally call back. He never did.
Whenever we tried to reach him, I remember he stopped us, saying calls and SMS were usually monitored on their phones and therefore risky. He warned that if we were not patient, we would be the ones at risk. We had to make the hard choice of staying silent or making noise and losing the battle. Initially, his mission was supposed to take only four days, but when it stretched into weeks, we couldn’t hold our horses anymore.
Three days before the recruitment, my wife challenged me to call him for the last time, but sadly, his phone was off. We trembled and went into sudden silence. We stared at each other like statues as our son looked on in disbelief. We couldn’t say anything to him. Time was ticking down very fast until the eve of recruitment when we realized this man had conned us out of our money.
My wife cried the whole night but kept hope alive, saying that sometimes bad things happen, and there’s no need to cry.
After the recruitment, I told her that I wanted to approach someone who could help us recover our money. She looked at me and told me to stop my nonsense. She dismissed it as mere talk. It seemed she had resigned herself to our situation.
However, I remained determined that we must find a way to get our cash back. I told her about Mugwenu Traditional Doctors, who handle general problems ranging from winning court cases, winning the lottery, protection of family and property, as well as accurate prediction of one’s future. He heals blood pressure, diabetes, ulcers, gonorrhea, syphilis, TB, and manhood weakness among other ailments.

Ugandan Citizen Abducted, Held in Secret Detention for Three Months, Sparks Outrage and Calls for Justice
A disturbing new case of unlawful detention has surfaced, highlighting the ongoing human rights crisis in Uganda. A Ugandan citizen was reportedly abducted and held in a secret facility, known as a “safe house,” for three months, only to be released without charge or explanation. This incident, reported by NTV Uganda, has sparked widespread condemnation and renewed calls for accountability regarding human rights abuses in the country.
While the details surrounding the abduction remain unclear, reports indicate that the individual was taken without due process and held incommunicado—an action that has long been condemned by human rights organizations. The victim’s release, with no charges filed and no clear justification, has angered activists and citizens, who view this as yet another case of egregious abuse of power by the state.
“This is a recurring pattern,” said one human rights activist. “Abductions, secret detentions, and unexplained releases have become all too common in Uganda. These acts violate fundamental human rights and erode public trust in the justice system.”
The use of “safe houses,” unregistered detention facilities reportedly operated by security forces, has been a focal point in numerous allegations of torture and illegal imprisonment. Despite repeated calls from both local and international organizations for their closure and accountability for those involved, little action has been taken to address these violations.
This case underscores the urgent need for reform within Uganda’s security apparatus and greater accountability for human rights abuses. Observers hope that drawing attention to these injustices will spur concrete action to bring those responsible to justice and ensure the protection of basic human rights.
As frustration mounts, calls for both domestic and international pressure to hold the government accountable for such crimes grow louder. “One day, there must be accountability for all these crimes against our people,” stated one social media user, reflecting the sentiments of many Ugandans.
National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi has accused Ugandan security forces of using excessive force to disrupt a planned NUP gathering. The allegations were detailed in a statement shared on Twitter, following an event held to honor children of NUP supporters who were killed, disappeared, or detained for their political beliefs.
According to Kyagulanyi, security personnel, under the command of an officer identified as Asiimwe, carried out a preemptive operation early in the morning upon learning of the NUP’s plans. The forces allegedly stormed the premises, arrested workers, and deployed tear gas to disperse those present.
“The criminals under the command of one Asiimwe deployed early morning, arrested our workers, and threw tear gas into our premises. They’ve cordoned off the premises and blocked all people from accessing the place,” Kyagulanyi wrote.
Among those reportedly arrested were Saava Peter, Mudenya Samson, and Turyasingura Samson. Kyagulanyi claimed the detained workers were subjected to beatings and interrogated about their political affiliations, with security operatives labeling them as terrorists.
“These JATT operatives asked the workers who they support politically, branding them terrorists and criminals—their only crime being that they work with us. You can imagine the indignity!” Kyagulanyi lamented.
This incident adds to the growing tension in Uganda’s political climate, where opposition parties frequently accuse the government of stifling dissent. Despite the challenges, Kyagulanyi ended his statement with a message of defiance and optimism, proclaiming, “UGANDA WILL BE FREE.”
