He was a passion fruit seller outside St Balikuddembe market. He rented a small part of the pavement outside the market, on Kafumbe Mukasa Road, where he shared the space with his mother, an avocado seller.
His mother, Aisha Nantume, says he was 21-years- old and lived in Kakajjo Zone, Kisenyi Parish, with his wife.
On the first day of the riots, at about 10am, mother and son were sitting on their section of the pavement when they noticed a long line of Military Police and anti-riot police coming down Kafumbe Mukasa Road.
“I told him I was scared, but he laughed at me, saying I had grown old if soldiers walking in a line of soldiers could scare me. I insisted that we should park our merchandise and take it to the store. I had a bad feeling. At 10.30 am, I boarded a taxi to return to my home in Ggaba, while he crossed the road to enter Kiganda Zone in Kisenyi, on his way to Kakajjo.
