Family holds service in memo of AK47

Many have talked, but the truth is AK47 alias Emmanuel Mayanja still haunts the family. The third singing brother to Jose Chameleone died  mysteriously after he allegedly fell into a washroom on March 16, 2015 .

Contradicting reports emerged over the singer’s death. There was a lot of speculation about the cause of death. Anyone with access to social media had their side of the story. The most prominent was that Mayanja aka AK-47, had been beaten to death. Police, however, ruled out any beating as the cause of death.

Experts who carried out the postmortem examination on the deceased singer’s body also ruled out beating as a possible cause of AK-47’s death even before an official report was released.

There were some wounds found on singer’s head,  Enanga, told journalist that the officers discovered a wound on the singer’s head. “The wound could be self-inflicted or caused by an accident. But all that will be included in the final postmortem report,” Enanga said.

Enanga’s information, however, seemed to contradict what Kabalagala CIID boss Nusulah Kemigisha told journalists. She said she suspected “foul play after realising the body had bruises on the chest”.

AK-47 was pronounced dead on arrival at Nsambya hospital on a Monday night of  16th March, 2015 . He was allegedly found lying on the floor of Dejavu Pub washroom in Kansanga, a Kampala suburb, shortly after 9pm on Monday evening. Fellow musician Diamond Oscar told journalist that they rushed the singer to Nsambya Hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Eight years now, the family has organized a memorial service in remembrance of the young singing Mayanja. Pallasso aka Pius Mayanja alias Lizard posted this:

“To all my brothers fans. In case you can make it. please come Let’s meet and pray for our fallen soldiers who can no longer pray for them selves. R.I.P AK47.”
