A popular female artiste in Karamoja, Rose Mary Akol alias Lady Kuku has been arrested by the Police over alleged child neglect.
Lady Kuku, who has spent a night at Kotido Central Police Station is accused of abandoning her 2- year- old son with the maid in the house in Lomukura Cell, Central Division in Kotido Municipality for two months.
Information on the ground indicates that the artiste had moved into another relationship which reportedly forced her to abandon the minor, currently hospitalized with acute malnutrition at Kotido General Hospital.
When our reporter sought a comment from the OC CID of Kotido CPS, Faizo Balyejjusa, he was referred to the OC Child and Family protection Unit, Caroline Abeja who told him that she was attending a meeting outside the district.
However, in the hospital, our reporter saw the boy being attended to by another minor in a worrying health condition. Our reporter could see the child with pale eyes and sunken body in desperate need for help.
