Two soldiers of Uganda people’s defence forces (UPDF) Maj. Gen Eric Mukasa and Brig. Gen Victor Twesigye have passed on this morning. Their demise has been confirmed by the UPDF spokesperson Brig. Richard Karemire.
Maj. Gen Eric died earlier this morning at Nakasero hospital where he has spent some time grappling with unrevealed illness.
According to Brig Karemire, Gen Eric has been serving as the chief of reserve forces.
Brig. Gen Victor Twesigye died this morning after he fell in the bathroom at his country home in Nyarushanje, Rukungiri district. The deceased has been the UPDF attach in India.
“We have lost two other gallant officers. May their souls rest in peace,” Karemire said
Their death happened barely two days after the passing on of Brigadier Jackson ‘Bell’ Tushabe. Tushabe died at Nakasero hospital.
The demise of the three comes barely a month after the death of another bush war hero, Brig Kasirye Gwanga and Brig Tumusiime Sikagi.
