The incident occurred on November 23, 2025, after a woman, Baguma Sipora, died in an accident, on 22ndh November, at Buseta trading center in Kibuku district and the mob accused Bazibu of causing her death through witchcraft over a land wrangle.
The angry mob still went ahead and brought the deceased body wanting to bury it into the conflicted land.

Authorities condemned the act and urged the public to report matters to relevant authorities instead of taking the law into their own hands.
He adds that the incident stems from a land dispute between Bazibu and the deceased, who had been involved in a previous accident. The police are investigating the matter.
