What was meant to be a routine office cleaning turned into a chilling discovery for a newly appointed radio station manager in Jinja City after she reportedly stumbled upon juju (witchcraft items) hidden in her office — with names of several presenters carefully wrapped and tied inside.
The incident, which has since sent shockwaves through the station staff and the local broadcasting community, occurred earlier this week when the unnamed female manager, who had just assumed her new role at the station, decided to do a deep clean of her office to give it “a fresh start.”
To her horror, tucked beneath one of the old cabinets was a strange bundle wrapped in red and black cloth. Inside, she reportedly found chicken feathers, cowrie shells, a small calabash, and several folded papers bearing names of presenters currently working at the station — some written in red ink and others in charcoal dust.
“She let out a loud scream and ran out of the office. The entire station came to a standstill,” a staff member who requested anonymity told The Eye Media.
The station manager, who had only spent a few days on the job, reportedly summoned a few trusted staff members to witness the findings.
Some employees immediately started fasting and praying, while others reportedly requested transfers, citing fear for their lives.
“One of the names was mine,” a visibly shaken presenter told us. “I’ve not slept well since. I can’t understand why someone would do this. What did I do to deserve being bewitched?”
Speculation is rife within the station, with staff suspecting internal sabotage linked to jealousy, rivalry, and fear of reshuffling under the new management. Some believe the items may have been placed to block promotions, cause conflict, or spiritually attack specific employees.
The new station boss, however, has remained calm and professional amid the spiritual scare. She has reportedly ordered a cleansing prayer service to be held on the premises and issued a stern warning against using witchcraft in the workplace.
“I came to work, not to fight unseen battles. This station will be led with transparency, not fear. Anyone involved in this kind of practice must stop immediately,” she reportedly told staff during an emergency meeting.
Religious leaders from both Christian and Muslim communities are expected to visit the station to pray and cleanse the compound.
Meanwhile, social media is already awash with reactions, with many calling the incident “a sad reflection of how far workplace witchcraft has penetrated even professional spaces.”
“We need spiritual revival in our media houses. This is just one of many cases,” tweeted a local pastor.
The Eye Media will continue following this developing story as investigations, both spiritual and internal, continue at the radio station.
