Yusif Sulemana alarmed by rising gruesome killings in Bole Bamboi

The
Member
of
Parliament
for
Bole
Bamboi,
Yusif
Sulemana,
has
expressed
worry
at
the
increasing
rate
of
gruesome
killings
happening
in
his
constituency.

This
comes
after
a
middle-aged
man’s
body
was
found
in
a
suspected
ritual
killing
at
St.
Kizito
Primary
School.

The
victim’s
body,
found
by
the
police
and
the
community
search
party,
was
naked,
with
his
head
and
genitals
removed.

Speaking
on
Eyewitness
News,
Yusif
Sulemana
stated
that
even
though
the
community
members
are
concerned
about
the
development,
many
are
hesitant
to
come
forward
due
to
the
fear
of
becoming
involved
in
the
legal
process
as
witnesses.

He
added
that,
despite
the
efforts
of
the
youth
in
the
community,
the
head
of
the
dead
body
was
later
found
on
the
outskirts
of
Bole,
towards
a
community
known
as
Doli.

The
remains
have
since
been
taken
to
the
mortuary.

“This
issue
started
not
today,
and
so
we’ve
been
talking
to
and
encouraging
ourselves
to
ensure
that
we
report
suspected
cases
to
the
police.
The
challenge
has
been
that
many
people
find
it
difficult
to
report
cases
to
the
police
because
there
is
this
fear
that
anytime
they
report
cases
to
the
police
and
they
are
taken
to
court,
they
are
called
upon
to
become
witnesses
in
the
case.

“So,
we
are
encouraging
them
and
finding
other
ways
of
ensuring
that
we
can
report
such
cases
in
a
way
and
manner
that
we
can
get
the
perpetrators.

“In
this
particular
case,
the
person
was
killed,
beheaded,
and
his
genitals
taken
away.
We
found
the
head
at
the
outset
of
Bole
toward
a
community
called
Doli,”
he
stated.

In
response
to
the
escalating
situation,
Yusif
Sulemana
noted
that
a
community
watchdog
group
has
been
formed.

“We
have
formed
a
community
watchdog,
but
of
course,
we
needed
to
brief
the
police.
They
were
informed,
and
they
responded
that
we
submit
the
list
of
members
who
are
willing
to
participate
in
this
activity
to
them
to
do
their
background
checks.
We
did
that,
and
we
are
waiting
for
them
to
give
us
the
go-ahead
to
be
able
to
start,”
he
stated.
