Ritual Sacrifice And Beheading At Karuma Bridge Construction Site!! Security Speaks Out After Young Boy Is Allegedly Sacrificed

The Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) and the Uganda Police Force have strongly refuted claims circulating on social media that individuals are being beheaded for ritual purposes in connection with the Karuma Bridge project.

The rumors gained significant attention after the discovery of the body of a six year old boy, Emmanuel Olara, who was found with deep head injuries in Amuru on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

In an emergency press briefing held in Gulu, Brigadier-General Felix Busizoori, the commander of the UPDF’s 4th Infantry Division, addressed the rumors, reassuring the public that the claims were entirely false. The rumors suggested that a group called “Otong Tong” was collecting heads for ritual sacrifices to aid in the construction of the Karuma Bridge. Some even claimed that over 400 heads were needed, with allegations that President Yoweri Museveni was involved in the conspiracy.

Brigadier-General Busizoori emphatically denied these allegations, saying, “There has been a lot of social media propaganda circulating, claiming there is a plan to gather over 400 heads of people for the construction of the Karuma Bridge, and that the President is behind it. This is 100% false. We assure the public that such a thing will never happen.”
He urged the public to remain calm and assured them that the authorities would soon track down and take legal action against those responsible for spreading the false rumors.

The UPDF commander also addressed the recent tragedy involving the death of Emmanuel Olara. “The hooligan who killed the child has already been identified, and we will arrest him soon,” Gen. Busizoori confirmed, noting that the suspect would soon be brought to justice.

The rumors about ritual killings have caused widespread fear in Northern Uganda, especially following reports suggesting that the Karuma Bridge construction site was linked to these alleged practices. However, security forces have consistently dismissed these claims as groundless.

The rumors also intensified as construction at Karuma Bridge had been temporarily halted in May due to structural defects. The bridge is expected to be completed by December 18, 2024, and reopened to traffic following extensive repairs.

Regional Police Commander Samuel Asimwe, who accompanied Brigadier-General Busizoori during the press briefing, echoed the condemnation of the rumors. “This is just a falsehood, and you know the challenge posed by people who have access to smartphones and use them for all sorts of purposes, some bordering on criminality,” Asimwe stated, referring to the role social media plays in the spread of false information.

Security agencies have called on the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities, but they stressed the importance of relying on official sources of information rather than unverified claims circulating on social media.
