WINNIE TABITHA

Desire Mirembe Jemimah,  a student at Makerere University pursuing a Bachelor of Science majoring in Speech and Language therapy on Friday, according to her pals, left for Jinja to attend the famous Phaneroo fellowship. Like any other normal student who loves the to praise and fellowship religiously, she was excited. Her WhatsApp status really said a lot. Desire was over the moon to go to Jinja to spread the word of God. Little did she know that she would come back home lifeless.

On Saturday night, she sent her mother a text message informing her that she was stranded in Jinja and needed some cash. That was the last time her mother heard from her. From Sunday evening, WhatsApp messages, accompanied with her photo have been making rounds on various WhatsApp groups sent by her OGs from Mt St Mary’s Namagunga and close relatives.
