The National Prosecutor's Office (RIB) has announced that it has arrested a woman named Mukamana Florence, who is being prosecuted for abducting other people's children, stealing from the hospital and calling her abe.
It is a decision RIB took after receiving a complaint from a mother whose baby was stolen from Masaka Hospital in Gasabo District.
The news IGIHE has is that the investigation started immediately after the arrest of this woman named Mukamana Florence who is 36 years old, and in the house of that woman there is another five-year-old child who was also stolen in the same way.
The spokesperson of RIB, Dr. Murangira B. Thierry told IGIHE that "This Lady Florence went to the Masaka hospital, pretended to be a philanthropist who wants to help people who have financial problems to pay for the hospital, then she came to see a mother who gave birth to a child from the country, Florence came to pay her, and even from the hospital she accompanied her to the mother's place of residence."
After a few days, Mukamana Florence returned to see the mother because she had assured her that she would accompany her to protect the child.
Dr. In the end, he said, "Mukamana Florence tricked the child's mother into carrying the child for her, then Florence bought a motorbike and the mother of her child bought a bicycle and they met at the hospital.
The child's mother arrived at the hospital and lost the child. Florence had even turned off the phone in order not to leave a trace behind.
He went on to say that "The child's mother immediately filed a complaint alleging that there is a woman she does not know who stole the child who first pretended to be a good person who helps those who are suffering."
Lady Florence was arrested on February 4, 2025, and another five-year-old child was found in her home, who was also kidnapped in the same way.
He was arrested in Rwamagana District, Fumbwe Sector where he usually lives. The woman said that the reason she stole the children was so that her husband would not hate her because they had been childless for four years, and then she decided to steal the children and lied to her husband that she was the one who gave birth to them.
Currently, the child and the mother have been sent to the Isange One Stop Center for medical attention, the child is being examined and the mother is being treated in other ways. RIB is still looking for the mother of the first child, because she never filed a complaint, and there are questions as to why she did not file a complaint.
In the message of Dr. In conclusion, he asked parents to be discerning and cautious.
In the message of Dr. In conclusion, he asked parents to be discerning and cautious. “RIB urges people to exercise caution in all ways.
In particular, parents go to the doctor, not a stranger, who doesn't know where he comes from and who you should trust him to the point where you give your child to drive him on a motorbike and the child's mother drives a bicycle; Problems are the best of all things.”
"Men are also asked to take their responsibilities seriously because it is incomprehensible how a woman who lives with a man would lie to him that she is pregnant and even lie to him that he has given birth twice.
It includes distraction if not inattention.” Lady Florence is being prosecuted for child abduction under Article 151 of the Criminal Code.
