President Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Museveni has demanded a comprehensive report on the cause of death of Jakana Sulayiman Nadduli, a son to former minister Al hajji Abdul Nadduli who suddenly passed away after his release from detention.
Jakana Sulayiman died on October 24 and was laid to rest at in Kaddunda village, Kapeeka in Nakaseke District.
Gen Museveni was reportedly concerned about the manner in which Jakana Nadduli, a former minister’s son who unsuccessfully contested in the Nakasekke Central parliamentary election.
Even though Museveni did not attend the burial of Jakana, he sent his junior minister for Kampala Affairs Kabuye Kyofatogabye to console the family of his NRA bush war comrade. Minister Kyofatogabye said Gen Museveni was very saddened with the death of Nadduli’s son and that he was concerned about the manner in which he died, especially with the opposition attributing circumstances leading to his death to his arrest, detention and alleged torture by state operatives.
He has since ordered an investigation into the death of Jakana Nadduli, with the view of finding out what really killed his former minister’s son. At the end of the probe, Gen Museveni expects a postmortem examination report clearly detailing what ended Nadduli’s life.
A team of pathologists at the Mulago National Referral Hospital is said to be already undertaking this task and are expected to make their report public before the end of this week.
Hajji Nadduli is a comrade of Museveni’s National Resistance Army (NRA) ‘liberation’ war which largely raged on in the Luweero Triangle from 1981 through 1986.
The death of Jakana has raised questions on the cause of his demise, with the political opposition accusing the state security agencies of torturing him and worsening his health condition.
