An 80-year old dies in cell in Kireka

By Correspondent 

An 80-years old man reportedly collapsed and died in a cell in Kireka, Kampala, Uganda.  Police has confirmed this ugly fact, saying that the public is informed that the remains of a one Muhonja Costa, an 80-year-old, suspected ADF collaborator, who collapsed dead, after a fall in the bathroom, while in custody at Kireka detention facility, was claimed by his family on the 15.02.2023.

Police Spokesman Fred Enanga says a one Tindyebwa Ezra, who identified himself as his son, claimed the body of the old man. Enanga said the UPF helped in the transportation of the body up to Kanyampara village in Kasese district and supported the burial arrangement with a coffin and food stuff.

“As we handed over the remains,” Enanga said,  “We warned the family and relatives against kinship recruitment, into terrorism where terrorists pay to recruit relatives of their operators, agents and collaborators, for continuity of their valued relationships. They dip into the family because trust is already established and the risk of recruiting the wrong people is minimized. It is against this background that we have strongly warned the family and relatives.”

However, Ugandans querried the nature of Mzee’s death, quoting the death of Janani Luwum whose death remained a mystery up to today?  The death of Janani, according the government then, was caused by an overspeeding car. Yet independent news outlets reveal that the ArchBishop was personally shot by Late Idi Amini. Ashamedly, Idi Amin reportedly caused the death of ArchBishop by shooting him in the mouth.  As you can read, there is no difference between the death of Janani Luwum and this one of the 80-year old man.

ArchBishop Janani Luwum was arrested in February 1977 and died shortly after. Although the official account describes a car crash, it is generally accepted that he was murdered on the orders of then-President Idi Amin.
