The police in kiira region jinja city  have denied the widespread misinformation circulating on social media, claiming that a woman cut off her husband's private parts in Nawampanda Parish, Butagaya Sub-County, Jinja District. Authorities have clarified that this information is completely misleading and untrue. The public is urged to ignore such unverified information, which is intended to spark unnecessary debates in the public domain.

The false information began circulating on Tuesday afternoon, March 12, 2025, alleging that a woman named Kagoya faatumah had cut off her husband's private parts.

According to the correct account of the incident, on Monday, March 10, 2025, Nicholas Dhabuliwo, 31, returned home to Nawampanda Parish while intoxicated. He began verbally abusing and physically attacking his wife, demanding his three old boxers. The woman, identified as Fatuma kagoya , 23, searched the house and handed over the boxers to her husband. However, despite receiving the three old boxers, Nicholas continued to demand a fourth pair, which the woman could not find.

This led to Nicholas beating his wife. In self-defense, Fatuma fought back and stabbed her husband in the chest three times and once in the left arm. Nicholas started bleeding and was rushed to a nearby health facility. He is now out of danger and receiving treatment at home. According to the medical report, he sustained only minor injuries.

SP James Mubi, the Kiira Region Police spokesperson, clarified that the man’s private parts are intact, contrary to the claims circulating on social media. Fatuma kagoya is currently at the Central Police Station (CPS) Buwenge, assisting police with the investigation. Mubi further explained that the Child and Family Protection Officer at CPS Buwenge is providing counseling to the couple to help maintain peace and stability in their family.

Mubi also shared that Nicholas Dhabuliwo claimed that the ghost of his late father had ordered him to wear the old boxers, which he believed would enhance his chances of prosperity in the Busoga Sub-Region. Dhabuliwo is a traditional herbalist.

The Kiira Regional Police Command plans to engage with all traditional herbalists in Jinja to guide them on how to conduct their practices without compromising the safety and security of individuals and property.

Mubi emphasized the importance of responsible citizen journalism, stating, "While citizen journalism is valuable, we must always adhere to the basic journalistic principles of fairness, accuracy, right of reply, and verification." He warned the public against spreading false information, as it can weaken the country's economy, politics, hospitality, military, and communication sectors. Ensuring peace, stability, and sustainable socio-economic transformation is a responsibility for every citizen.
