Fishermen in Migingo have always decried the rampant insecurity and harassment they go through at the island. They at one point complained to the government to also investigate incidents related to abduction.

They lodged these complaints back when Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and his Ugandan counterpart Kale Kayihura visited the island. But still the situation did not change.

Now, a man who has been missing is suspected to have been murdered for ritualistic pursposes. This is bizzare, just like this story below...

News coming from Migingo claims, the body of a Ugandan water vendor who had been missing for five days was found floating on Lake Victoria.

Kennedy Mugwaru is believed to have been murdered for rituals as his ears, eyes, lips and nose had been removed.

John Obunge, chairman of the Migingo Island Beach Management Unit, said the killers also removed his scalp.

"Parts of his buttocks were also chopped off. We are in fear because Mugwaru was probably murdered in the island and the body dumped in the lake," he added.

Residents said the body parts will likely be used to prepare a concoction believed to result in bumper fish harvests.

Mugwaru used to supply water to hotels on Migingo Island in Nyatike constituency.

His customers realised he was missing after going two days without his services.

His body was taken to Bugwe District Hospital mortuary in Uganda.
