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.

According to the UPDF Deputy Spokesperson Lt. Col. Deo Akiiki, the deceased has been identified as Masumba Annet (76), a born of Wanale Sub-County, Mbale Municipality. It is believed she had come to claim his deceased sons monthly pension payments.

The deceased according to the army was in company of his son a one Wagidoso Wasolo and the two were climbing the steps to access the office but later decided to enter a lift where the elderly woman collapsed.

The army has since refuted the speculation and through the UPDF mouthpiece, a statement pertaining to Musumba’s  sudden death was issued which reads in part thus;
