Now, Oulanyah’s ex-wife says people should be allowed to view Oulanyah’s body.
“No one has seen him since he ‘so called’ landed. What kind of life is this we are living? And why are the MPs OK with it, we must wake up Uganda. What is a wake or vigil without viewing?” asked Amoo.
“No one has seen, and is it a crime for the rest to view?”
A national funeral service happened at the Kololo Independence Grounds on April 06.
