The Kira Road Division of the Kampala Metropolitan East Police is actively investigating a disturbing case involving allegations of rape and the procuring of abortion. The incident was reported by a 19-year-old female, a resident of Kulambiro Jomayi in Nakawa Division, Kampala District .
According to the victim, the alleged incidents transpired between the months of July and September in 2023.

The victim reports that during her employment, she was subjected to a series of sexual assaults and forced into an abortion. She details that her employer, Mohamed Mohsen, summoned her into his room approximately at 0800 hours on multiple occasions. During these encounters, the suspect initiated sexual assaults on her. She asserts that she felt powerless to refuse his advances due to her vulnerable situation and her reliance on the job for her livelihood.
These disturbing acts persisted until September, when the victim began experiencing health issues. At this point, the suspect took her to Victoria Hospital, where she was diagnosed as being pregnant.
