KAMPALA, Uganda — Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Sam Omara has died, according to Arrow Security Systems LTD, where he served as Director of Operations and Deputy CEO.
The company’s Chairperson, Flight Captain Mike Mukula, announced that Omara passed away at Mulago Hospital at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, April 28, 2025, after a prolonged battle with cancer.
“Arrow Security Systems LTD with deep sorrow announces the death of our Director of Operations and Deputy CEO, SAM OMALLA (RIP), who retired at the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP). He passed away at Mulago Hospital at 7 a.m. after a long struggle with cancer,” Mr. Mukula stated in a post on X Monday morning.
This announcement follows the police’s dismissal of rumors regarding Omara’s death over the weekend.
Omara, 65, had been facing significant health challenges, including prostate cancer and recent kidney failure. He underwent dialysis at Mulago National Referral Hospital the previous year.
A well-known figure in the Uganda Police Force, Omara previously held the position of Kampala North Police Operations Commander. In this capacity, he played a key role in managing the 2011 “walk-to-work” protests led by opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye. His handling of these protests drew criticism from opposition activists who alleged the use of excessive force.
After retiring from the police force, Omara transitioned to the private security sector and recently became the Deputy CEO at Arrow Security Services, which is owned by Capt. Mike Mukula and oversees its operations.
Omara’s son, Divine Omara Mutukuvu, revealed that his father had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had undergone surgery several months prior. He noted that his father had appeared to recover and had recently traveled to Mombasa, Kenya.
The Uganda Police Force had committed to covering Omara’s medical expenses after his family sought assistance. Capt. Mukula reportedly engaged President Museveni to garner support in this matter.
Omara rose to prominence while commanding the Field Force Unit (FFU) in Kampala and was frequently involved in confrontations with President Yoweri Museveni’s long-time political rival, Dr. Kizza Besigye.
