He could not receive any food from his people, one of his aide name withheld confirm to us.

According to our reliable source , after rejecting all visitors of Lt Gen Hemry Tumukunde, prison wardens tried to convince him to feed on a special meal prepared by them, which he refused.

He was too suspicious and asked to feed together with other prisoners which they refused.

It took him three days without have any meal.

Gen Tumukunde told Whisper Eye that he was isolated and kept in a single room alone some thing close to torture.
