Constable Ssemakule Mugabi, the police officer killed in Friday’s raid on Mukokya Police post in Kasese, was laid to rest with full police honors yesterday, July 30th.
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Lt Gen Kale Kayihura attended the ceremony in attendance with other senior officers of the Uganda Police Force.
Constable Mugabi was from Kitezi, south Kampala. His funeral took place at Mityana in Southern Uganda.
