Uganda Police leaders in the greater Masaka sub-region have extended an operation against quack traditional healers in the area, vowing to make the area free of these frauds.

The special operation was launched by AIGP Asan Kasingye the Director in charge Community Policing in November last year, at Lwengo district to clamp down on the increasing cases of murders related to ritual sacrifice that were being reported in the area.

This was focused at registering all traditional healers in the district with their areas of speciality, searching shrines for suspicious regalia that may aid in investigations into murders, but according to Lameck Kigozi, the greater Masaka regional Police spokesperson, the operation will extend to districts outside Lwengo. 

Speaking to Howwe.Biz on Phone, Kigozi said intelligence reports indicated that some of the quack witch doctors deserted their homes in Lwengo and put-up makeshift shrines in the neighboring districts at the start of the operation. He promises these will be hunted down until they all are arrested.
