Mukumbya says that out of pain, he confessed knowledge of the theft prompting Yiga and his men to search his home but found nothing. He however, says all the same Yiga compelled his aunt Teddy Najjuma to sell her cow and solicit contributions from her relatives to raise Shillings 1.3 million as compensation for the missing tools.
According to Mukumbya, since the incident, he finds difficulty to pass urine.
Mukumbya has not undergone any medical examination to establish the extent of injuries on his private parts due to lack of money. His family gives him pain killers to reduce the pain.
Mukumbya's aunt, Teddy Najjuma, says she has lost trust in the officers at Kapeeka Police station. She says the officers were together with Yiga when compelled her to sell her only cow to raise money to compensate him for the missing tools without establishing the truth about the case.
Luttamaguzi Ssemakula, the Nakaseke North Member of Parliament, says several residents have accused Yiga of torturing them over land disputes. He however, says most of the police officers in the area have been comprised, which explains their failure to act.
Paul Kangave, the Savannah Region Police Spokesperson, says the Nakaseke District Criminal Investigation department has already finalized investigations into the matter and preferred assault charges against Yiga.
Yiga is also being investigated by the Justice Catherine Bamugemereire Land Commission and Land's Minister Betty Amongi on how he acquired the land.
