The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) have opened up about the sudden and tragic death of Annet Musumba, the mother of late Lt Andrew Muduli, which occurred abruptly on Thursday June 18, 2020, at Postel Building, in Kampala.
Workers at the Ministry of Defence Headquarters were shocked this afternoon after a lady, later identified as Annet Musumba, died suddenly in a lift and many people who saw her at first suspected it was a case of COVID-19 or some other deadly ailment.
However, the army has since refuted the speculation and a statement from the UPDF Deputy Spokesperson Lt. Col. Deo Akiiki pertaining to Musumba’s sudden death reads in part thus;
MINISTRY OP DEFENCE & VETERANS AFFAIRS UGANDA PEOPLES’ DEFENCE FORCES OFFICE OF THE DEFENCE SPOKESPERSON MoDVA

“Today 18 June 2020 at 1115Hrs, an elderly woman identified as Masumba Annet, 76 years, the mother to the late Lt Andrew Muduli. collapsed and died instantly in a lift at Postel building in Kampala.

Together, the two were climbing the steps to access 7th floor but later decided to use the lift where Annet collapsed.
The UPDF medical team from the UPDF Senior Officers Diagnostic Centre Mbuya led by Dr. Brenda Aboke was immediately called in. Dr. Aboke later pronounced Annet Masumba dead.
Police was also called in to do other procedures. The body was taken to Bombo General Military Hospital for Postmortem arid further management.”
However, the UPDF is yet to reveal what the actual cause of Musumba’s death was and perhaps they are still waiting for a complete postmortem report from Bombo General Military Hospital.
