police in Busia District, Eastern Uganda, successfully saved an eight-year-old girl from the clutches of two knife-wielding men who had abducted her from Kampala with nefarious intentions, reportedly aiming to sacrifice her. The incident unfolded at Mirembe Guest House in Kisenyi village, Busia Town, where the young girl was found in distress.
The girl, whose memories of her late mother are her only recollections, recounted the harrowing experience, stating that she had been lured away from her home by two unidentified men, accompanied by her uncle known only as Kifefe. Exploiting her parents’ absence, the perpetrators convinced her to accompany them under the guise of buying snacks from a nearby shop.
Moses Mugwe, the Bukedi South region Police spokesman, shed light on the deceptive tactics employed by the perpetrators, emphasizing that the girl’s apparent uncle, Kifefe, took advantage of her parents’ absence to deceive her into leaving with them. This manipulation underscores the calculated nature of the abduction, raising concerns about the girl’s safety and well-being.
Further investigations revealed disturbing intentions behind the abduction, with indications suggesting that the girl was targeted for sacrificial purposes. The familiarity of the girl’s family with the alleged perpetrator, Kifefe, deepens the gravity of the situation, prompting authorities to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Despite the assailant’s violent intentions, Tibanja remained resolute, attempting to contain the situation until law enforcement could intervene.
The swift response of Busia police, coupled with the vigilance of Wandera and his colleagues, resulted in the successful rescue of the young girl from imminent danger.
