Sometimes the devil loves to tempt children of God. To desist from this, we have to pray everyday, especially if we know that we are linked directly to the men who spread the word of God. A woman, Mariam Kusubira, a wife to Pastor Shadrack Kusubira of Noah’s Ark church in Namasuba, is now at Katwe Police Station, because of giving in to temptation.
Should we blame this on the recent trend of Kidnaps around the country, that we have failed to control, causing different people to think of them as money making ventures? Or should we just blame the devil for tempting this woman of God.
MARIAM WAS CAUGHT LYING
Mariam had made the country believe that she had been kidnapped on her way to pay for a piece of land, and the captors demanded a ransom of Shs 50 million to release
The lady who wanted to defraud her husband
her. This lady was however found at her daughter’s hous
e in Kikajjo, Makindye division. She was later taken to the police station and charged with elopement and Kidnap. The police have so far recorded over 70 cases of kidnaps, and majority of them have been self set up- as a form of fraud.
It brings a feeling of relief when someone is finally taking a stand to do something about the ongoing kidnaps of women and girls around the city. More than thirty females have so far lost their lives to unknown goons, who use this heartless act as a form of raising incomes. They take their victims and contact their families to ask for sums, usually in millions, after which they murder the young women and dump their bodies. Stella Nyanzi, the woman with a voice has said, No! She calls for 0ne million marchers to join in the protest against Kidnap.
THE PROPOSAL
In Stella’s design, one million people will slowly descend upon the City Square and silently march in protest against the violent kidnaps and brutal murders of women and children in Uganda. These protesters, composed of men, women and children, will hold posters and hand-made placards with stern messages about #UGWomenLivesMatter. They will move from City Square past the Parliament of Uganda, the State House at Nakasero, the High Court, Central Police Station and down to the Constitutional Square in Kampala city to stop the kidnaps.
WOMEN’S PROTEST GROUP
Stella also disclosed on her social media page, that she has convened a meeting for the women protests r. She described it as a carefully chosen group of citizens who plan, strategise, organise, conduct, coordinate and account for non-violent protest actions against diverse forms of oppression in Uganda. They are also committed to creating spaces for creative confrontations between the powerless and powerful using a range of media including poetry, art, music, dance, drama, film, community meetings, blogs, websites, social media, webinars, radio, television, photography, story telling. The group is planning a range of protests against the kidnaps of women and children in Uganda.

In the wake of Numerous Killings and Kidnap of women, you need some self defense measures up for just in case you are faced with such a situation.
Simple Karate Moves
Learning some good old Karate moves could be the difference between death and survival in some situations. Moves such as the groin squeeze or punch could cause a good amount of pain to your attacker and destabilize them. If you are caught unaware from behind, you can trip your attacker by wrapping his leg with yours. this commonly known as “engwara”
Invest in self defense Gadgets.
Now on the Ugandan market is pepper spray which ranges from 25k to 60k depending on size. This one of the most common means of self defense world wide. Just aim at the attackers eyes and spray just enough to distract them until you can make your escape.
Keep sharp objects on your pocket.
A comb with a sharp pointed end can go a long way. Whether you have hair or not, always have a relaxer comb, a small Knife or pen for easy use.
All the above are great ways to protect yourself incase of an attack but remember, the most important thing is to avoid these situations. Avoid moving a lone at dark times and keep a number of someone yo trust on speed dial.
