Fatuma Neseka, 26, a Radio Journalist at 102.3FM Eastern Voice Radio in Bugiri and correspondent for Jogo FM in Busia was on Thursday pronounced dead and buried in the middle of the night after a medic wrongly injected her with a lethal drug.

The deceased was a finalist student of Kampala University pending graduation in Bachelor’s of Mass Communication.

The deceased husband, Meddie Mugwa, the late was a known patient of  Brucella and she had visited the ‘doctor’ following persistent chest pain and Brucella, a bacterial infection transmitted from contact with infected livestock

“My wife sought treatment at a clinic in Bugiri for chest pain and Brucella. The so-called “doctor” injected her with a lethal drug. When her condition deteriorated, we rushed her to Kibuli hospital only to be told that the drug destroyed all her internal organs,” said Mugwa

The head of journalism department at Kampala University Daniel Saire also confirmed to the news of Nekesa’s death.

“I have just got information that one of our former Mass Communication students Fatuma Nekesa was injected with a lethal drug and passed on last Friday,” read message from Saire, the H.O.D journalism & Mass Communication at KU

The doctor only identified as John admitted to administering the lethal drug and apologized to the deceased husband family members for the mess.

However, there is a growing tension between the family members and Nekesa’s workmates on the decision by the family to hurriedly bury her.

Nekesa who was on Thursday announced dead at Kibuli hospital, was buried on the same day at 8pm something that raised more questions about her death.

“We do not know why they decided to bury her at night yet the initial programme had set Saturday as the day for the burial. Nekesa had so many friends within the media fraternity and was also a former councilor and speaker of Dabani Dub County in Busia District,” said David Walyendo, who worked with Nekesa at Eastern Voice FM.

But the husband claims that his wife was laid to rest at night because of the terrible condition her body was in.

Mugwa further said he has opened up a case at Bugiri Police against John who is allegedly seeking an out-of-court settlement.

When contacted, Busoga East spokesperson, Dianah Nandaula, said she was not aware of the case but added that she was going to consult with Bugiri police
