Adam Mulwana, the Ugandan singer popular for Dr Kizza Besigye’s Toka Kwa Bara Bara song, passed on in early hours of Tuesday, February 13, 2024. Adam Mulwana cause of death remains a mysterious, with those close to him referring to claims of poisoning.
There are claims that what exactly killed Mulwana, the 32-year-old whose campaign song electrified Besigye’s supporters during the 2016 elections, could have been complications from the suspected poisoning.
Months before he died, Mulwana claimed that he had been poisoned. That after experiencing excessive sweating and body weakness, he was forced to stop working.
He further claimed that doctors had told him that the poison had damaged his body’s vital organs such as the liver, making him frequent hospitals in the few years before his death.
“One day, while in the hospital, a doctor suggested that I check for poison, and to my shock, I had been poisoned,” Mulwana said in April 2023.
On the evening of April 18, 2023, Patrick Oboi Amuriat (POA) led a delegation of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) senior party leaders to visit Mulwana at his home in Makindye in Kampala.
After the visit, the FDC claimed that Mulwana had been poisoned.
“Adam the composer of the famous Toka kwa balabala hit was diagnosed with poison that affected his liver but he is being managed,” the party said.
After Adam Mulwana’s death, one of his friends claimed he had been poisoned.
