Police in Jinja District have arrested a 48-year-old man accused of repeatedly ra**ng women as they returned home from work at night.

According to police, most of his victims had previously feared reporting the assaults due to his threats to kill anyone who exposed him.

Kiira Regional Police Spokesperson, Mr James Mubi, confirmed the arrest, explaining that the suspect’s latest victim was attacked on her way home.

“The suspect threatened to kill the victim if she refused to sleep with him. After he committed the act, she gathered courage and reported the incident to police,” Mr Mubi said.

He added that the suspect is believed to have assaulted several other women in the same area.

"Some victims reportedly chose to remain silent to protect their identities, as they personally knew the assailant."

Police have protected the identity of the latest victim, who has appealed to any other women who may have suffered similar attacks to report to Kakira Police Station and help pin the suspect.

Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Indian parents and became an American citizen in 2018, shortly after graduating college.

He lived with his family briefly in Cape Town, South Africa, before moving to New York City when he was 7.

Mamdani was once a fledgling rapper
Mamdani attended the Bronx High School of Science, where he co-founded the public school's first cricket team, according to his legislative bio.

He graduated in 2014 from Bowdoin College in Maine, where he earned a degree in Africana studies and co-founded his college’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter.

After college, he worked as a foreclosure prevention counselor in Queens helping residents avoid eviction, the job he says inspired him to run for public office.

Mamdani also had a notable side hustle in the local hip hop scene, rapping under the moniker Young Cardamom and later Mr. Cardamom. During his first run for state lawmaker, Mamdani gave a nod to his brief foray into music, describing himself as a “B-list rapper."

Early political career
Mamdani cut his teeth in local politics working on campaigns for Democratic candidates in Queens and Brooklyn.

He was first elected to the New York Assembly in 2020, knocking off a longtime Democratic incumbent for a Queens district covering Astoria and surrounding neighborhoods. He has handily won reelection twice.

Ukraine could be facing its biggest loss for months, if the key eastern city of Pokrovsk falls to Russian forces. The battle for this strategic point on a big road and rail artery in the Donetsk region has been going on for well over a year.

If Russia's Vladimir Putin were able to claim victory there, three years and 10 months into his full-scale war, he would be a step closer to his goal of controlling Ukraine's entire industrial east - the Donbas, made up of the neighbouring regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Many Ugandans are expressing their pride in the newly elected mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and retains dual nationality.

Some have described him as one of "their own", saying he inspires them.

A journalist who mentored him during his teenage internship at one of Uganda's leading newspapers said that there was a "lot of excitement" in Uganda about Mamdani's rise especially because of his young age. Uganda has the second-lowest median age worldwide of just 16.2, according to the CIA World Factbook.

Zohran, 34, is the son of Prof Mahmood Mamdani, a prominent Ugandan academic, while his mother, Mira Nair, is an acclaimed filmmaker.

The Leader of Opposition in Parliament, Joel Ssenyonyi, has again raised concerns over alleged secret payments to Members of Parliament, saying previous denials by lawmakers have always turned out to be false.

In a post shared on social media on Wednesday, Ssenyonyi said past experiences show that whenever he exposes questionable payments in Parliament, those involved first deny before the truth eventually comes out.

The Speaker of Parliament, Ms Anita Among, on August 26 blocked the Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (Cosase) from probing the redevelopment of the Nakivubo Channel by businessman Hamis Kiggundu (Ham), and replaced it with a five-man “fact-finding team”.

In doing so, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, said she bungled the probe. “...those manoeuvres by the Speaker of Parliament were calculated to frustrate investigations into the Ham scam...,” Mr Lukwago said on Tuesday. Parliament’s Director of Communication Chris Obore, however, said Ms Among did nothing wrong.

The National Unity Platform (NUP) party presidential candidate, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has pledged to prioritise the comprehensive post-war rehabilitation of northern Uganda once elected president.

Speaking to supporters at Kalongo Town Council in Agago District last Friday, where he addressed his third rally in the Acholi Sub-region, Mr Kyagulanyi said the region continues to reel in abject poverty with people’s conditions barely different from how it was 20 years ago.

“We intend to comprehensively rehabilitate places that have in the past been devastated by war, especially northern Uganda. In the new Uganda we are seeking now, I intend to use the wealth of this country to tarmac more roads,” he said. Mr Kyagulanyi said the roads in the north remain in a terrible state, cutting off the population from basic social services, including markets, schools, and medical facilities, among others.
