The Ugandan legal fraternity is in shock following the discovery of State Attorney Emmanuel Naguyo’s lifeless body at his home in Nebbi District on Monday morning. Mr. Naguyo, aged 41, was found by a colleague who had gone to his residence to inquire about his unexplained absence from work.
The colleague reportedly found Mr. Naguyo deceased around 10:00 am. Details regarding the cause of his death have not yet been released by the authorities.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Mr. Naguyo. Colleagues who knew him described him as a vocal individual, known for his readiness to voice workplace grievances and advocate for colleagues.
Mr. Naguyo’s untimely death marks another loss for the ODPP, which has previously experienced the tragic assassinations of its prosecutors, most notably Joan Kagezi, a senior principal state attorney who was killed in 2015.
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Naguyo’s death are ongoing. The ODPP has pledged its support to the family during this difficult time.
