A shocking story has emerged online of a Ugandan man, a father of three, who allegedly connived with his sister to fake his own death before secretly marrying another woman in the United States.
The woman, whose story was shared anonymously on the X (formerly Twitter) page @Remssx, narrated how her life was turned upside down after trusting her husband during what she thought was a medical crisis.
According to her account, the man claimed he was suffering from cancer and traveled to the US for treatment. He refused to let his wife accompany him and instead took his sister along.
For weeks, the wife tried to reach him, but his sister only answered calls once a week, giving vague updates and refusing to provide the name of the hospital where he was allegedly admitted.
After about a month, the sister called with devastating news: her husband had “died” and been buried in America.
The family was told the body could not be transported back to Uganda. Heartbroken, the woman mourned her husband while trying to care for their three children.
However, her grief later turned into shock when she discovered that her husband was, in fact, alive — and had married another woman in the US.
Before leaving for America, the man had reportedly taken out a large loan and used their family house as collateral, putting the wife and children at risk of losing their home.
“I cried my eyes out. I couldn’t reach him, and the sister never gave me clear answers. I thought I had lost everything,” she said.
Despite the betrayal, the woman says she has now chosen peace. “I have come to accept the situation and decided to focus on the positive aspects of my life.
I am grateful for my children and for the fact that we have a roof over our heads, living with my supportive sister.”
The story has stirred debate online, with many questioning the man’s actions and sympathizing with the woman’s strength in moving forward.
As Matooke Republic notes, this account could not be independently verified, but it serves as a reminder of the complex challenges families can face in relationships, trust, and migration.
