Suspected human remains, three skulls, and a bottle of suspected human or animal blood have been recovered at a shrine during an intelligence-led operation in Makindye Sabagabo division in Kampala.
According to Luke Owoyesigyire, the Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, the shrine belongs to Jjaja John Magombe,50, in Kazinga Masaja Kibira B village Masajja Parish in Makindye Sabagabo.
Officers stormed the shrine on Friday, on a tip-off.
“The operation was a result of our crime intelligence team, which received information that the suspect has been engaging in shady activities in the area,” he said.
Owoyesigyire says that the team has submitted all the exhibits to the police forensic laboratories for analysis, while the suspect is detained at Katwe Police station as investigations into the matter continue.
However, after the arrest, an angry mob on 4th February descended on the shrine and burnt it to the ground at night.
