Police says that they are looking into the videos and statements issued by various people, alleging that the former speaker of parliament Jacob Oulanya did not die of natural causes.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga says they are also scrutinizing statements to be made during and after the burial of Oulanyah. This follows a directive by the president on the matter.
Last week, President Museveni directed the police to look into statements making the rounds both in mainstream media and social media, that the former speaker of parliament Jacob Oulanyah had not died of natural causes.
“We are going to go for them because I have heard some people say that Oulanyah was killed. The police are going to come and ask for more information,” President Museveni said on Friday after the election of a new speaker and her deputy.
Among the people that made such statements is the father of the deceased speaker, Nathan Okori, and the Acholi paramount chief, Acholi David Acana II.
“Is poisoning now an ope method of elimination in Uganda? Who is behind it? Is it an individual or an organized entity? I say so because of alleged comments that have been made about this,” the paramount Chief of Acholi, Rwot David One Acana II said.
