He posted on Twitter saying, “Adieu my friend & fellow Munyasheema #YesseMubangizi the proprietor of #NileHighSchool Mukono. The ugly hand of the devil has snatched you in your prime in an accident this morning. You served your Lord God with all your heart. May He Rest you in Eternity.”

Faridah Nampiima, the traffic and road safety public relations officer, said the boda boda rider only identified as Samuel Lukyamuzi also died on spot while three other travellers in Mubangizi’s car sustained serious injuries.
Nampiima said the driver of the vehicle, a Prado in which Mubangizi and three others were travelling, attempted to dodge the boda boda rider who was crossing from one side of the road to the other without indicating.
“In the process, the Prado driver tried to dodge the rider and ended up losing control of the vehicle and knocked the boda boda rider, killing him on spot. One Yesse Mubangizi Kamanyire died moments after reaching Nkozi Hospital,” Nampiima said.
