In a chilling twist that has stunned Uganda’s medical and legal communities, Eva Mbabazi was arrested in connection with the sudden death of famed fertility expert, Dr John Spire Kiggundu. The arrest, long anticipated amid swirling suspicion and public outcry, marks a dramatic turn in one of the most unsettling cases of 2025.
Dr Kiggundu, a pioneer in reproductive health and gynecologic surgery, booked into Dream Guest House in Lubowa on the evening of June 21. Less than 24 hours later, he was found dead—alone, unresponsive, and surrounded by questions.
The post-mortem declared the cause as a heart attack. But whispers refused to die. Why had the renowned doctor remained unseen for 15 hours? What happened in that room?
The Camera Never Lies: Eva Mbabazi Caught on Tape
As rumors swirled, one name kept echoing across social media—Eva Mbabazi. She wasn’t a stranger. CCTV footage placed her at the epicenter of the mystery, calmly exiting the very room where Dr Kiggundu would later be discovered dead.
Police had been searching for her in silence. Then came the moment of reckoning.
“We have been looking for her,” said police spokesperson Patrick Onyango. “This week, we finally brought her in.”
From witness to possible suspect—her status had changed. Her every movement, every word from that day, is now under forensic scrutiny. The case file now sits with the resident state attorney, who holds the power to escalate the case to prosecution.
“We opened a general inquiries file,” Onyango revealed. “Now, the attorney will advise whether she should be charged—and with what.”
No charges have been filed—yet. But this arrest didn’t happen in a vacuum. It happened in the shadow of a man’s unexplained death and a trail of digital evidence.
A Nation in Mourning, a Legacy in Suspense
Even as investigators unravel the final hours of Dr Kiggundu’s life, the nation mourns a giant. He wasn’t just a doctor—he was a healer, mentor, and innovator. From infertility treatments to laparoscopic breakthroughs, his legacy transformed lives across Uganda.
Eva Mbabazi, now in the custody of the very system she once evaded, has reportedly cooperated with authorities. Her account paints a picture—one that investigators are now comparing to surveillance data and forensic findings.
Still, the questions haunt everyone: Did she witness his final breath? Was it nature or something more sinister?
Dream Guest House, nestled along Entebbe Road, has become the epicenter of this unfolding legal drama. For now, the public waits. The decision of the state attorney will determine whether Uganda witnesses a court trial—or a case quietly archived as a medical anomaly.
Social media is ablaze. Tributes pour in, outrage simmers, and justice is demanded. Through it all, one truth remains: the loss is real, the grief is raw, and the search for answers is far from over.
Eva Mbabazi’s arrest may have opened the door—but only time will tell whether it leads to justice or deeper mystery.
