Rowdy NUP supporters cause Chaos at Jakana's funeral

It was chaos and total shame yesterday evening at the funeral of Jakana Nadduli when a rowdy group of young-looking men and women well-known to be NUP supporters stormed the funeral armed with placards containing photos and names of alleged persons to be missing. In their protest, they requested the immediate release of the said persons in their placards.

Jakana son of Abdul Nadduli was buried yesterday in Kadunda village in Kapeeka sub-county in Nakaseke district.
Kiryandongo deputy resident district commissioner Henry Ssebunya who was serving as the master of ceremonies attempted to calm down the rowdy NUP supporters but all was in vain. NRM supporters led by a youth-only identified as Majambere joined the RDC and started roughing up the NUP supporters forcing other mourners to flee into banana and coffee plans to avoid the chaos.

Sheikh Ramadhan Mulindwa, the Kadhi of Luwero district took over the microphone but he couldn’t proceed because of the tension prompting Nakaseke district police commander, Ben Nuwamanya and his team to take over the funeral as police deployed strategically along the road to restore calm. In the process, Jakana’s father, Abdul Nadduli lost his phone in the fracas and was evacuated by his bodyguards for his own safety.
Jakana Nadduli, 37, a strong critic of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party breathed his last around 1:30 am while being rushed to a clinic in Wobulenzi town. His death comes a few weeks after his release from remand in prison.
