The Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) has put out of action a notorious Commander of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) who commanded brutal attacks in Kamwenge district, that claimed the lives of Adrine Ngwabiiji, 78, and her two grandchildren.

Col. Deo Akiiki, the Deputy UPDF Spokesperson confirmed that the ADF Commander known as Musa Kamusi, who was the mastermind of the recent attacks in Kamwenge was killed by the UPDF  soldiers on Wednesday, December 27, 2023 from Kibale National Park.
