In a shocking incident in eastern Uganda, a Muslim man is suspected of killing his mother by putting pesticide in her food. The motive behind this tragic act is believed to be his mother’s conversion to Christianity, a decision that apparently did not sit well with him.
Sulaina Nabirye, a 50-year-old resident of Kamuli District, embraced Christianity on February 10. Her 31-year-old son, Arajabu Mukiibi, who was studying to become an imam, reportedly pressured her to abandon her new faith and return to Islam. When she refused, he allegedly threatened her and stopped visiting her.
The situation escalated during Ramadan, with Mukiibi reportedly visiting his mother on April 9 under the pretense of having dinner together. Shortly after eating the food he brought, Nabirye started vomiting and experiencing diarrhea. Despite efforts to save her, she passed away that night.
Tests revealed that the food contained Methanol, a toxic alcohol used in industrial solvents and pesticides. Mukiibi did not offer any help or support during his mother’s illness, further raising suspicions of his involvement.
This tragic incident is not just a personal tragedy but also reflects a broader issue of religious persecution. It serves as a grim reminder of the risks faced by individuals who choose to leave Islam, even within their own families.
