Body Of Archbishop Lwanga ‘Captured’ As Mourners View Man Of God For Very Last Time

On Saturday afternoon President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni joined a growing list of government officials, opposition politicians and other members of the public to eulogize the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kampala, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga who died Saturday morning.

“With profound grief, I have learnt of the death of Kampala Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga. I join the Catholic Church, all religious faithful, and the country in mourning Archbishop Lwanga. He has died in faith. May God grant his soul eternal repose,” the president tweeted moments after the Prime Minister, Dr Ruhakana Rugunda described the prelate’s death as “shocking and a huge loss to the Christian family.”

Dr Lwanga was found in his room dead, according to a statement issued by Fr Pius Male Ssentumbwe.

“The sudden death of His Grace Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the Archbishop of Kampala, is shocking and a huge loss to the Christian family and the country at large. We will miss his wise counsel on many issues. May the Almighty God Rest His Soul in Eternal Peace,” Dr Rugunda tweeted.

The ICT Minister, Ms Judith Nabakooba in her condolence message called for calm and asked the public to refrain from spreading speculations and what she described as false rumors about the death of the Archbishop.

“Let us remain calm and wait for the church to give their last word and probably the doctors once they are done with their investigations but right now, we should remain calm and only pray for his soul,” she said.

National Unity Platform (NUP) president, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine said it was “a dark day for the Catholic Church, and a dark day for Uganda.”

“I’ve learnt with shock about the sudden death of His Grace Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the Archbishop of Kampala. It will be very hard to cope with this unimaginable loss,” added the former presidential contender.

As a way of allowing believers to view the man of God for the very last time yesterday evening Lwanga’s family allowed a reasonable number to come over to church and bid farewell to the fallen religious leader.

Since we are living in error of social media a few clips of Lwanga lying inside a casket were taken and shared on social media
