Discovery of skulls shines light on shrine dark secrets

When traditional healers and herbalists under their umbrella, National Traditional Healers and Herbalists Association, embarked on an exercise to register members in Kampala Metropolitan Area, they did not expect the shocking discovery that awaited them.

They found 26 human skulls in a shrine of a man seeking to be a member of their association.

Led by Mr Andrew Sserugo, the group visited the shrine of the applicant at Kitaka Zone, Busega Parish, Rubaga Division in Kampala City on Sunday.

“We asked the applicant whether [he] had been registered before. He said he didn’t have a certificate of the association. This prompted us to become suspicious and we started searching the shrine only to discover two skulls wrapped in clothes,” Mr Sserugo said yesterday.

Mr Sserugo said they alerted the police immediately after the discovery.
