Makerere University fresh graduate commits suicide in Church

A Makerere University fresh graduate Flavia Nagasha was on Thursday found hanging dead in a Kagarama Daystar Church in Rwampara District, Western Uganda.

Nagasha recently completed her bachelors of business administration at the university.  

Makerere’s outgoing guild president Lawrence Alionzi condoled on social media suggesting that Nagasha has been battling an undisclosed sickness.

“I have learnt with great sorrow about her death. She is said to have been sick for some time. My Heartfelt condolences go to the family, friends and all the Makerereans. May her soul rest in perfect peace," Alionzi wrote.

A friend to Nagasha who preferred anonymity in order to speak freely said: “The deceased even failed to make it to her February 2023 graduation day due to mental disorders- and often sought exorcism.”

“After running mad, she hanged herself. But prior to the tragedy, she had on several times been a victim of what was believed to be demonic attacks," Nagasha’s female friend said.

She further indicates that Nagasha’s family buried one of its members last week.

“Even the father died last year under uncertain circumstances," the friend said.

By press time, authorities had not issued a statement on the alleged suicide.
