In a puzzling development in Bugiri district, a mind-blowing woman appeared after her purported burial following allegations that she had died in an accident.
Shamim Kagoya, an 18-year-old daughter to Mr Iduma Kizito, residents of Bukazoto village in Nabukalu subcounty, Bugiri district was allegedly buried on Monday June 17, 2024, when she lost her life in an accident at Lugazi in Buikwe district.
Residents narrate that Kagoya, who was an expectant mother of a 7-month pregnancy, was conveyed to Kawolo hospital where she allegedly breathed her last.
Her family members, while contacted for the disturbing news in the hospital, examined that the victim was their esteemed daughter, Kagoya, who stays in Entebbe.
Mr Geoffrey Kakaire, the chairperson LC3 for Nabukalu subcounty confirms that the deceased after the postmortem and operation to abort the baby who was also lifeless, were handed over to relatives for burial that went successful at Bukazoto village.
But a strange turn of events engulfed residents when information was got that Kagoya was still alive. She eventually appeared in the early morning of Tuesday, June 18, 2024, when mourners were still grieving the loss of their friend.
“We registered this shocking incident, and we are just in wonders. The girl died, and family members confirmed that she was the one. We were surprised getting information that she was still alive,” said Mr Kakaire.
Kakaire stated that he couldn’t believe that allegations until he spoke to the claimed girl on the video call and was the one.
“After getting the information, Mr Kizito sent some people to Entebbe where the girl was working from, and they found her. The most wonderful thing she came with her pregnancy,” Kakaire added.
Kagoya, who even lost consciousness, arrived at home very healthy, questioned how and where she was reportedly buried. Residents remain shocked with the two bodies disposed of at Kizito’s home.
“We are just here stranded. We have never experienced such an incident, and we don’t know what to do because the person we claim that we buried is still alive,” said the local leader.
