Veteran National Resistance Movement(NRM) politician Abdul Nadduli has lost his son hours after he was hospitalized with complications from an accident.
Sulayiman Jakana Nadduli died last night at around 1:30 am on the way to Orient clinic in Wobulenzi town where he was being rushed for treatment.
According to the family members, Jakana has been battling pains resulting from a nasty accident he got early this year.
The deceased's body has been transferred to their father's home at Lusenke zone in Wobulenzi town council ahead for the burial arrangements.
Abdul Nadduli has since issued a statement informing President Yoweri Museveni, Ministers, National Resistance Party leaders, and the Buganda Kingdom officials among others about the death of his son.
In his statement, Nadduli indicates that Jakana will be buried at 4 pm later today at their ancestral home in Kadunda village in Kapeeka sub-county in Nakaseke district.
Jakana has also been battling a court case where he was sued over sectarianism remarks against Banyankole and Banyarwanda contrary to section 41(1) of the penal code act.
The deceased was accused of recording and uploading a video on youtube, which promotes sectarianism. He was picked up by security operatives in Makindye, Kampala in September this year and presented at Luwero Magistrate Court.
He was remanded to Prison and released a week later after his lawyer told the court that he was battling complications resulting from an accident that he got prior to his arrest.
He was supposed to return to Luwero Magistrate Court on November 16th, 2022 to answer to the charges against him.
Jakana contested for the Nakaseke Central Parliamentary seat in the last general election where he emerged third and lost to NUP’s candidate Allan Mayanja Ssebunya.
Jakana has also accused the NRM government on social media of marginalizing his father.
Jakana will be buried at 4 pm later today at their ancestral home in Kadunda village in Kapeeka sub-county in Nakaseke district.
