Katumba Wamala reveals daughter Brenda Nantongo’s last words, moments before she died

Outgoing works and transport minister Gen Edward Katumba Wamala narrated the ordeal he went through during the June 01 morning shooting at Kisota Road, revealing her daughter Brenda Nantongo’s last word and moments.

A bullet stuck in his shoulder, Katumba Wamala left Medipal International Hospital June 02 to attend the vigil of his daughter Nantongo in Najjera.

The general told mourners the occupants in the car had first thought it was an accident.

Katumba Wamala had sunk into the car seat once bullets started raining into the vehicle.

Nantongo would then collapse helplessly onto her father, screaming ‘Jesus,’ before she breathed her last.

“They fired so many bullets. When I realized that it was bullets I fell into the seat,” narrated Katumba Wamala, also a former army commander and ex-police chief.

“Brenda then suddenly screamed, ‘Jesus!’ and collapsed on me. That’s when I realized she had been hit.”

He added that the assailants had shot at the side of the car where Nantongo, 26, sat.

“Sadly, I don’t know if it was God’s plan that my daughter should protect me.”

Nantongo’s burial will happen in Mukono district on June 03.

I’m fighting on because of Museveni’s phone calls, says Katumba Wamala
