Uber announced the immediate shutdown of its operations in Nigeria and Uganda. ^[1] Moses Kavubanya, a 46-year-old man from Uganda, had his penis severed by his wife Susan Namuganza during a dispute in July 2024. ^[2] The Nigerian market has become increasingly challenging due to driver protests and industrial action over rising operating costs, low fares, and working conditions. ^[3] The removal of Nigeria's fuel subsidy after President Bola Tinubu's election in 2023 caused the cost of living to rise significantly. ^[4] Uber's statement to the BBC clarified that the decision is limited strictly to Nigeria and Uganda and does not impact operations across the rest of the continent. ^[5] Kavubanya remarried Eva Nabirye and successfully conceived a son named Samuel with her. ^[6] Surgeons used a remaining 10-13 centimeter section of tissue to reconstruct the penis while leaving the testicles and scrotum intact. ^[7] Susan Namuganza was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the attack, although Kavubanya had requested a sentence of 45 years. ^[8]
