Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Five employees of a labour export recruitment firm in Uganda have been charged with aggravated trafficking in human organs and remanded to prison.<\/p>\n

The suspects include two directors of Nile Treasure Gate Ltd; Abubakar Sulaiman Kato, 33 and Mariam Muhammad, 31. Others are Mohammed Salmah, 43, a board member, Ali Hassan Male, 38, Company treasure and Jeniffer Milly Naluga, 32, supervisor.<\/p>\n

They were jointly indicted with their company, Nile Treasure Gate Ltd for allegedly using deceitful means to recruit and make preparations to send, receive and confine a one, Judith Nakintu, to Saudi Arabia for purposes of removing her kidney.<\/p>\n

The suspects, on Friday, appeared before Nakawa Chief Magistrate, Elizabeth Akullo Ogwal and pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecution alleges that the company, its bosses and others still at large between December 2019 and October 2021 between Kampala district and Saudi Arabia organized, facilitated and\/or made preparations for sending to receiving or confining of Judith Nakintu by means of fraud or deceit or abuse of power of position of vulnerability for purposes of removal of a body part or organ.<\/p>\n

It is further stated that for the purpose of exploitation, Nakintu suffered mutilation or suffered a life-threatening illness which offence was committed by a syndicate.<\/p>\n

The state prosecutor, Mr Joseph Kyomuhendo, asked court to commit the suspects to the International Crimes of the High Court Division for trial once police are done with their investigations.<\/p>\n

The suspects were remanded to Kitalya and Kigo prisons until March 14 when they\u2019ll return to court for further mention of the case.<\/p>\n

Nakintu\u2019s family accuse the labour export recruitment firm for soliciting and sending her to Jeddah on December 12, 2019, as a housemaid where she was mistreated for several months and later repatriated with a missing right kidney.<\/p>\n

The family stated that while in Saudi Arabia, Nakintu underwent an \u2018unexplained\u2019 surgical procedure which resulted into a stroke that paralyzed her and rendered her helpless.<\/p>\n
