Veteran journalist Andrew Mujuni Mwenda and a friend to the late Maj Gen Paul Lokech has revealed the cause of death of the deputy police chief (Deputy Inspector General of Police – DIGP) as Ugandans continued to wonder on what exactly killed the charismatic soldier.
Maj Gen Lokech died August 21 morning, according to UPDF.
The army didn’t reveal the cause of death of the deputy IGP.
But according to Mwenda, Lokech succumbed to a sudden blood clot.
Mwenda further revealed that when he last talked to Lokech, the deputy police chief was “very fine.”
“This morning, my friend and comrade, Maj. Gen. Paul Lokech, who has also been deputy Inspector General of Police, died suddenly and unexpectedly of a blood clot,” wrote Mwenda.
“I last talked to Lokech on Thursday at 8pm and he was very fine. Uganda has lost a true giant of a general!”
Mwenda mourned Lokech as a great Ugandan patriot.
“Lokech was first and foremost a patriot and a great soldier,” he added.
“He has fought many battles and rubbed shoulders with death several times. He will be remembered for being straightforward, dedicated and efficient.”
