Bobi Wine mourns fallen Jakana Nadduli. #WhisperEyeNews

The National Unity Platform President Mr Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has joined Ugandans mourning the death of Jakana Sulayiman Nadduli who has died at his home.

Bobi Wine mourns,

I have just learnt of the sudden, untimely death of our brother Jakana Sulayiman Nadduli, the son of Al Hajj Abdul Nadduli.

In March this year, he was involved in an accident that almost took his life. According to him, the people who knocked him were deliberately targeting his life.

A few days ago, Jakana was abducted and spent several days under incommunicado detention. He told us that he was severely tortured in detention. Later he was produced before a court in Luwero and remanded to Butuntumula prison where he spent several weeks.

Upon release from prison on bail, he resumed his work and has been actively speaking out against dictatorship and misrule.

It is therefore most unfortunate this morning to be informed that he died at his home! He joins very many critical Ugandans who have died under very unclear circumstances.

Deepest condolences to his father Hon. Al Hajj Abdul Nadduli, his entire family and all Ugandans who are affected by this tragic news.

inna lillahi wa inallah-e-raji’oon.
