Police in Jinja City are investigating the murder of a son to Busoga Kingdom’s Information Minister, whose body was last night discovered by the roadside in Bugembe, a Jinja City suburb.



Kiira Region Police spokesperson, James Mubi, identified the deceased as Rogers Kifubangabo, 32, a son to Michael Kifubangabo, the Information Minister in Busoga Kingdom, who is also a teacher at Jinja Senior Secondary School.


Mubi says they have started investigating the matter with the help of CCTV cameras installed, and the culprits will soon be apprehended and prosecuted. He explains that police detectives are working on leads that some local political leaders and landlords are fueling insecurity in some areas of Jinja City by housing criminals they claim are their voters.

 

Meanwhile, Kifubangabo urged Police to find the culprits responsible for his son’s death. The deceased, who is survived by a widow and three children, will be buried on Wednesday in Nagweni village, Bulopa sub-county, Kamuli district.
