Speaking to the press, police in Uganda said Nakintu's Saudi Arabian's employer had doctored the medical reports to show that all her internal organs were intact.

How did it happen?

The Ugandan woman does not remember how and when her organ was removed but all she recalls was that her Saudi boss accompanied her to the hospital for what she had been told would be COVID-19 vaccination.

NTV Uganda reported that upon arrival to the hospital, she lost consciousness and that must be when her kidney was removed without her consent.

Her employer lied to her after she woke up from the surgery that she had been involved in an accident.

She noticed that she had strange scars on her body which she could not quite explain.

Nakintu arrived in Saudi Arabia in 2019 and a few months after she started working for her employer who has since been identified as Sadaffa Muhamed, she lost touch with her family.

Investigations into incident

The police in the Yoweri Museveni-led nation said they are waiting on the attorney general's guidance on whether there are sufficient grounds to charge the agency's directors of conniving with foreign nationals.

"With such medical evidence, which was sharply contradicting with what was presented as fake, it makes it easy for us to fast-track the process of prosecution," Charles Twine, the CID police spokesperson said adding investigations into the case were complete.
