ARCHBISHOP LWANGA ON GOOD FRIDAY REFFERED UGANDA’S LEADER AS EVIL, HE DID NOT SURVIVE THAT NIGHT!

The former Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga made his last sermon to Ugandans on Good Friday. The man of God was clearly having an epiphany moment that day, and he made his last words count.

His sermon was about the prevailing crisis in the country:

“Easter gives us a hope of restoration and it is the basis of our faith in God’s mighty power to bring back to life what has been snatched by the devil."  Like a man who knew this was his last sermon in this world of the living, Bishop Lwanga added: "Even in the midst of death, the death of a loved one, a relative, a friend and all the consequences, there is hope for our resurrection and restoration.”

To the super charged Museveni, the Bishop had crossed the “red line.” It was the same “line” that other religious leaders like Sheikh Muzaata and Sheikh Dr. Kalisa crossed. Bishop Lwanga has been getting on Museveni's nerves for quite some time now, warranting a warning way back in 2008.

The fact is, Museveni's sensitivity and paranoia have hit hysterical levels. When Bishop Lwanga made reference to "God’s mighty power to bring back to life what has been snatched by the devil," Museveni might have taken this literally, understanding that the cleric meant to say all those the dictator had killed would come back to haunt him.

Bishop Lwanga was found dead the next day in his residennce in Lubaga.

This marks a change of gear in Museveni's killing appetite for critical religious leaders. He has been known to target firery Muslim clerics, who he has despatched in big numbers. Catholic clerics, be on the look out for this lurking angel of death.

Exclusive info we have from SFC is that it is this security organ under Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba that killed Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga who has died this Easter. President Museveni and his inner circle of security operatives have long had a beef with the outspoken Catholic cleric and finally decided to eliminate him after he stepped up criticism of state kidnaps, extra-judicial murders by state operatives, and other crimes. 

Just on Friday, the day before his death, Archbishop Lwanga had led the way of the cross, from where he openly and fearlessly launched his criticisms of state crimes, which according to our reliable sources seriously angered First Son Muhoozi, and his father. The two responded by sending “death merchant” Col. Asaph Nyakikuru to do the dirty deed. The infamous Col. Nyakikuru commands a death squad of a commando unit from SFC whose main duty is to roam all over Uganda, in “drones”, abducting supporters of NUP, dumping them into torture dungeons, and killing thousands. 

Nyakikuru, according to our source, dispatched his most reliable killers to Lwanga’s house. Nyakikuru’s goons strangled the man of God to death after the latter had retired home from the usual Pope Paul Memorial Hotel evening outing.

Very strangely but also suspiciously, the SFC immediately cordoned off the Archbishop’s residence. Obviously with prior knowledge of the death, they acted quickly to arrange his postmortem in Mulago Hospital, instead of Nsambya where Catholic Bishops are supposed to be treated or receive other medical services including post mortems. Muhoozi’s SFC men even refused anyone from touching the body of the deceased archbishop.

This was very strange indeed.

Renown for his love for evening drink ups with his friends, especially Vice President Edward Ssekandi and Dr. Emmanuel Katongole of Quality Chemicals Ltd, sometime back in 2015 while organizing for the Pope’s visit, the deceased archbishop had intimated to his friends how he was a great admirer of former prime minister Amama Mbabazi, and he was saddened by the latter’s sacking from government, through Gen. Kale Kayihura.

When Museveni learnt of Lwanga’s reaction, he dispatched a team that comprised of prominent Catholic clergy warning him to back off matters to do with Mbabazi. This displeased Lwanga, to the extent that even when Gen. Kale bought an expensive rosary in an attempt to raise resources for the church, the archbishop never blessed it. That marked the beginning of a major animosity with the state.

Fast forward to the Pope’s visit in 2015, which was meant to announce Cyprian Kizito Lwanga as the new cardinal. It was never to be. Museveni through unscrupulous priests leaked information to the Papal Nuncio that “Kizito Lwanga had fathered children with a Muganda witch doctor in Katosi.”

This manufactured scandal was a major blow to Lwanga’s aspirations as he lost out completely. So he retaliated by hitting out against government with the needed criticism, which not all the clergy can dare.

Lwanga also spoke out ever more vocally in support of the opposition, beginning with Kizza Besigye to Mbabazi and finally to helping NUP secure it's victory in Buganda with active backing of the Catholic Church for the popular Kyagulanyi and his party, something that made Museveni incandescent with anger.

From then it was a matter of time, until Nyakikuru was deployed to kill the man of God.

May his grace the Archbishop rest in paradise, and forgive his killers. This was the death that YouTube personality Fred Lumbuye had warned him not so long ago about.

He died a noble man on a holy day moreover on a day that is holy.
