Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango said the suspect, Ddamulira Godfrey, would be charged under the Prevention and Prohibition of Human Sacrifice Act. Animal remains and skins were also found in Mr. Godfrey’s shrine in the suburbs of the capital, Kampala.
He was allegedly found with 24 human skulls; he may have been using them for human sacrifice and could face life in prison, the police have told the media.
Police are still searching Mr. Godfrey’s shrine in the hopes of recovering more human remains.
Mr. Onyango told uncovered Ug news reporters that “We are charging him first under the Prevention and Prohibition of Human Sacrifice Act, which [prohibits] one being in possession of human body parts and instruments of human sacrifice.”. “If he is found guilty, he will serve life in prison.”
Mr. Godfrey claims to be a traditional healer and herbalist. However, the country’s Traditional Healers’ Association has distanced itself from him.
This is not the first time such a shocking discovery has been made in Uganda in recent weeks.
Last month, police recovered 17 human skulls from a shrine in the central district of Mpigi, about 41 km (25 miles) from Kampala.
In conclusion, both discoveries have been linked to human sacrifice for ritual purposes. Some people in many African countries believe that magic charms made from human body parts will bring them good luck, for example, to become rich or, alternatively, to curse their enemies.
