Namumbeiza Swabura, mother of 11 children, including a five-month-old baby, died on 17 June in Nabuli village, Kibuku District, after her sister-in-law visited and offered to prepare a light meal of cooked plantain for her.
Swabura and her husband, former sheikh (Islamic teacher) Mugoya Muhammad, put their faith in Christ in August 2014. Her husband’s sister, Jafaran Wowa, of Kanyolo village, visited her and prepared a dish of plantain. Wowa, who did not eat any of the dish, left soon after Swabura finished it. Stomach pain started immediately and two hours later Swabura died. Her sister-in-law has gone into hiding.
