News reaching our platform says that Severino Kiberu Lukoya, the father of former Holy Spirit Movement rebel leader Alice Auma Lakwena, has passed away.
However, his daughter, Doreen Adokorach, confirmed to the Uganda Radio Network that Lukoya had been bedridden for four months due to prostate cancer. Two months ago, he underwent surgery at St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor and had been responding well to treatment until Friday night, when his health deteriorated.
“Last night, he started experiencing severe chest pain and coughing. Despite efforts, he passed away at 2 a.m. this morning,” Adokorach added.

Kiberu Lukoya, 99, died at his home in Awere Cell, Pece-Laroo Division, Gulu City, around 2 a.m. on Saturday. Additionally, he was the leader of New Jerusalem International Tabernacle Ministries, also known as Meltar, a church incorporating both the Bible and the Quran in worship and healing services.
Lukoya’s body has been transferred to the Fourth Infantry Division morgue pending burial arrangements.
Adokorach described her father as a devoted servant of God who dedicated his life to spreading the gospel among the Acholi people and beyond.
“God lived in him and spoke through him to the Acholi people, urging them to abandon their traditional ways and serve God’s purpose. Though his physical body has passed, his spirit lives on,” she remarked.
In conclusion, Adokorach intends to assume leadership of the ministry, which reportedly boasts over 10,000 followers in Acholi and other regions worldwide.
