Shocking details have been emerging about Makerere University Medical student, who on Saturday allegedly raped a fellow student identified as Brenda Nakyejju, before she jumped out of his room on third floor at Mitchel hall, indicate that he could be a serial rapist.
Jeremiah Mukyemu, a fourth year medical student has been accused by a former employee of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) of allegedly defiling his daughter.
Yeko Bwana, a resident of Lumuli Village in Mukono, says that Mukyemu raped his daughter identified as Agnes Nadia in 2015 when she was still a first year student at MUK, but his efforts to get justice from Wandegeya police were fruitless.
Bwana says Mukyemu was dragged to Wandegeya police and charged with rape vide file number SD REF 22/10/10/2015, but later the Resident State Attorney and police foiled investigations, before dropping the case.
When asked about the matter, Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Emiliano Kayima said “That case was reported but the State Attorney had a lot of queries with it and the family failed to provide necessary evidence to cause the arrest of the suspect, so we pushed it aside.”
Bwana however says that “The police frustrated our efforts to get justice. How can the State Attorney say there was no evidence yet there was a lot of blood? The girl was taken to hospital, how can they say that there was no evidence when there was a medical report? Mukyemu even wrote an apology letter admitting to have committed the crime and asking for my forgiveness but the police still say there was no evidence?”
Bwana, who was speaking amidst tears, said that “After being raped, my daughter fled from home. Since then I have never seen her. Mukyemu should be put in jail and let the law take its own course. And you my daughter Agnes Nadia, I beg you wherever you are to return home please.”
Mukyemu is currently in detention at Wandegeya police station where cops are investigating him over two charges of the attempted rape and attempted murder of another student.
Jeremiah who isn’t her boyfriend; was just some horny guy in his 4th year offering bachelors of medicine and surgery. It is alleged that Jeremiah has raped many other girls but has always found his way around courts of law and police. Brenda was yet to be another one of his victims but she jumped out of fear to avoid becoming another of his victims.
Police has clarified on the horrifying incident and a case file of attempted rape has been lodged against Jeremiah.
Speaking exclusively to Chimp Reports, Makerere Chief Security Officer (CSO) Jackson Mucungizi identified the suspect as Jeremiah Mukyemu, 26, a Mugisu by tribe and student of Medicine and Surgery. He said the two had met in Wandegeya earlier in the day before Mukyemu invited his victim to come check out his room. “He made the first attempt to rape her but it failed. He then locked the room and tried again, still without any success. This is when he left her locked up and went to buy some things from the canteen,” Mucunguzi told Chimp Reports. He said that the already threatened lady also boiled water in a percolator which she would use in case the guy made another attempt. “When the guy opened the room, the lady poured the hot water into his face and things got out of control. The guy became very violent and with the room locked, this forced the lady to jump out the window.”
Mucunguzi said that the suspect had been apprehended and is being held at Wandegeya Police Station. “He had another similar case in 2015 where he tried to rape another girl and went into hiding. They later sorted themselves with the girl’s family and he came back to school.”
The Chief Security Officer warned students against drug abuse, a practice he says has led to many such behaviors.“Students should stop smoking marijuana, shisha and taking Kuber. These drugs cause them not to think properly,” he said.
