...she [Judith Nakintu] was recruited by Nile Treasure Gate Company...as a housemaid to work in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
...after two months on the job...she was involved in an accident, although no details were given.
They [her family] later received information about her condition on March 17, 2020, that she was in critical condition...
...the employer informed them about the accident and they asked him to send them photographs of her, but he blocked them.
They later approached...the director of Nile Treasure Gate Company, to help them access their sister...but he also later cut off contact.
It was at Mulago that they learnt that she underwent a ‘mysterious surgery’ while in Jeddah and that her right kidney was missing.
Another Ugandan migrant worker, Milly Namazzi...recently died in Egypt after her employer allegedly mistreated her and transferred her from Saudi Arabia.
The family suspects foul play and accuse the company, Dreams Connect Company, of allegedly failing to help them repatriate the body.
Rebecca Ahimbisibwe recently escaped after she learnt that she was ‘sold’ to a home where she would work without pay. Nakalema compelled the company, Narrissa Group Uganda Limited, to repatriate her.
