Meanwhile, in her deliberation during the requiem mass held at All Saints Cathedral Nakasero, Jovia Kobusingye Mugyenyi, the widow to the deceased also revealed that, the person who killed her husband could be identified.

“I wouldn’t want to talk a lot in connection to the possible killers because myself and my children we may follow the same suite,” Jovia said.

“I have lost a husband, friend, father, and an advisor, oh God, in times of trouble instead of calling your name, I would end up mentioning your name for assistance but really now whom will I call,” Jovia wept.
