Kamuli Kamuli Central Police Station is holding a 40-year-old man for allegedly defiling his 15-year-old biological daughter.
The suspect has been identified as Henry Bukamba, a resident of Market Zone, Namwendwa Town council in Kamuli district.
Bukamba has been at large since last year when he realised that he was being hunted by Police.
The victim whose name we have concealed for being a minor was a P.7 pupil at St. Mary’s Primary School located in Nawanyago town council when she realised that she had conceived.
According to the victim, the father started abusing her sexually while she was in P.3.
She ended up in Nawanyago at her grandparents place, owing to the sexual abuse she was going through at home.
Early last year, while at school, the girl collapsed prompting the senior woman teacher to call Ms. Kisakye Mable, the Community Development Officer(CDO), Nawanyago Town council, who responded and took the victim to Nawanyago health health centre III.
Medical examination indicated that the girl was pregnant.
The victim then disclosed to the authorities that her father was responsible.
According to community reports, the mother to the victim separated with the father when the girl was 3 years old.
From the time of medical examination that confirmed pregnancy, the Community development officer has been responsible for the welfare of the child mother including footing her medical bills until she gave birth in August last year.
Commenting on the matter, Busoga North Regional Police Spokesperson, Michael Kasadha noted all they wanted was for the girl mother to get justice.
“We want to appeal to the members of the public to take up responsibility in reporting matters that affect the well-being of children,” said Kasadha.
