Former Police Operations Commander Sam Omara Dies At 65

Sam Omara, a former Assistant Commissioner of Police known for his role in Uganda’s security operations, has died at the age of 65. Omara had been battling serious health conditions, including prostate cancer and kidney failure, and had been receiving dialysis treatment at Mulago National Referral Hospital since last year.

Throughout his career with the Uganda Police Force, Omara served in several key roles, notably as the Kampala North Police Operations Commander. He became a controversial figure during the 2011 “walk-to-work” demonstrations led by opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, with many criticizing what they saw as excessive use of force under his command.

After retiring from the police, Omara transitioned into the private sector, taking up a leadership role as Deputy CEO at Arrow Security Services, a firm owned by Capt. Mike Mukula. Mukula reportedly sought President Museveni’s support to help cover Omara’s medical expenses, following appeals from Omara’s family. The Uganda Police Force also committed to assisting with his treatment costs.

Omara leaves behind a complex legacy, remembered both for his contributions to national security and the controversies that surrounded his policing methods. His death has been acknowledged by colleagues and figures within Uganda’s security community.
