Namugongo residents were in shock today when a bodaboda rider allegedly committed suicide over his inability to pay part of his motorcycle loan and the constant demands for marriage from his three pregnant girlfriends.
According to a report Alex Nuwagaba’s body was found outside a housee he was renting in Namugongo by his neighbours on Tuesday.
One of the relatives of the deceased told Kira police detectives that Nuwagaba has been restless for several days, lamenting about his loaning company.
Bosco Buziba, the Chairperson of Boda-Boda riders in Kira municipality, said that apart from the pressure from the motorcycle loaning company, the 33-year-old rider who was also a member of Namugongo-Njanda stage, near the Catholic Shrine had other family related issues.
“He was having other problems; his landlord was chasing him out of the house, after spending four months without paying rent. But also another issue he once told me about was related to his three girlfriends who were each alleging to be pregnant for him. And everyone wanted marriage before giving birth,” noted Buziba.
Friends of the deceased also narrated that the situation was unfortunate because the deceased was working hard to clear the motorcycle, only to be disappointed by his friend.
Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, Patrick Onyango noted the deceased’s body was picked by Kira-Division police and taken to the city mortuary Mulago for a postmortem report.
