Tragic; One arrested following death of Man during bar fight for Sex Worker

The police in Buyende are investigating the murder of a 31-year-old man identified as Adiso Madigo, a resident of Kalwaala village, in Nkondo sub-county in a bar brawl.

Reports indicate that Madigo collapsed to death during a violent fight with Ben Gidonyi on Wednesday night. After the incident, Gidonyi voluntarily surrendered to Buyende central police station and confessed to fighting the deceased. 

According to eyewitness accounts, the two men clashed over a commercial sex worker in the bar after they each paid her 5,000 Shillings each.

However, Gidonyi wanted to forcefully grab the sex worker from the bar, which sparked off the fight.

Residents attempted to save Madigo by rushing him to a private clinic for emergency treatment but he was pronounced dead on arrival. 

Michael Kasadha the Busoga North Region police spokesperson says that inquiries into the matter are ongoing.

President Yoweri Museveni closed bars in March 2020 and they still remain under lock and key. However, several fatal incidents have been registered in bars operating illegally in different parts of the country.
