Today, the Uganda Police Force woke up to shocking news of one of the officers from the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Afande Musa Walugembe, who died in his bed.
However, his death was confirmed this morning by the Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs, Balaam Barugahara. The minister revealed that Walugembe “passed away peacefully in his sleep.”
Balaam described Walugembe as a man of “unwavering integrity,” admired for his kindness, humility, and trustworthiness.

Furthermore, he described the loss of a “true servant of the people,” noting that his legacy of loyalty and dedicated service to Uganda will not be forgotten.
The condolences extended to the Inspector General of Police, the Director of Crime Intelligence, the Director of CID, all police officers, and the officer’s family and friends underscored the profound impact of his passing.
He was among the top police officers implicated in the brutal arrest and alleged torture of Mityana MP Francis Zaake in 2020.
In conclusion, the incident led to a court case where Walugembe and his colleagues were found liable for the actions against the MP, and the court awarded Zaake Shs 75 million in damages.
