Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Masaka City are investigating circumstances under which unknown assailants killed a female mobile money agent and dumped her body by the roadside.<\/p>\n

The deceased has been identified as Ms Joan Nabakibi, 26, who was conducting the business along Victoria Road in Masaka City.<\/p>\n

According to the deceased\u2019s mother, Ms Imelda Nanyanzi, Ms Nabakibi was last seen on June 30 when “she left home in good health and went to work.”<\/p>\n

Ms Nanyanzi said she was shocked to learn that her daughter\u2019s lifeless body had been found in a trench at the roadside in Ssaza, a Masaka City suburb on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received a call last night that Nabakibi had been killed and her body dumped in a trench. I ask police to expedite investigations so that those who killed my daughter are brought to book,\u201d she echoed.<\/p>\n

Similar incidence<\/b><\/p>\n

Ms Nanyanzi expressed concern while referring to her husband who she says also \u2018\u2018died under unclear circumstances in May last year and was also found dead near their home in Ssaza.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the death of her (Nabakibi) father, police promised us a report after investigations. But before it\u2019s even out, the daughter has followed suit,\u201d a visibly worried Ms Nanyanzi told Daily Monitor.<\/p>\n

She noted that her daughter had complained of unknown men who were trailing her from work up to Ssaza Trading Centre using a boda- boda.<\/p>\n

Ms Ritah Nampijja, who operates a mobile money kiosk close to the premises of the deceased, said Ms Nabakibi reported to work on July 2 and left a few minutes to 7pm.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has been walking from Masaka Town to Ssaza every day since this lockdown started, including on Friday,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

One of the residents, Mr Patrick Kaggwa, said the attackers \u2018\u2018could have trailed Nabakiibi from her shop before killing her at a dark spot- and later dumped her body in a trench with one of her eyes poked out.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really don’t know the intentions of the assailants but we suspect that they targeted her money. We ask the security officers to increase both motorized and foot patrols in our area especially at night to reduce such incidents,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

The deceased is survived by two children aged four and two respectively.<\/p>\n

Southern Regional Police Spokesperson, Mr Muhammad Nsubuga, said police have since taken the deceased\u2019s body to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital for post-mortem.<\/p>\n

“Police investigations are underway, and we ask anyone with information that can help us to come up so that the suspects are apprehended,” he urged.<\/p>\n
