WAKISO, Uganda — Police in Wakiso District have arrested a 34-year-old woman in connection with a disturbing Wakiso child abuse case involving a 10-year-old boy.
The suspect, identified as Nankunda Esther, is currently being held at Nateete Police Station following the incident, which reportedly occurred on March 20, 2026, during Eid Day celebrations.
According to police, the victim—a Primary Four pupil—had been left under the care of the suspect by a relative. It is alleged that at around 5:00 p.m., the woman accused the boy of stealing 100,000 Ugandan shillings before subjecting him to severe punishment.
