“The Lord loves justice and will not forsake His faithful ones.” With these words from Psalm 37:28 (NIV), Tom Magambo reassured the nation in a heartfelt tweet following the tragic killing of a respected Dean of Students. He emphasized that justice will prevail and affirmed that security agencies are fully committed to ensuring safety and accountability. Magambo assured citizens that he and his colleagues are working tirelessly to keep homes and streets secure, promising that those responsible for the crime will face the full force of the law.
His message came as the country continues to mourn the painful loss of a young and dedicated education leader whose life was taken in a shocking and cruel act. Students, colleagues, friends, and family members remember the Dean as a hardworking professional who cared deeply about guiding young people. His death has left not only a personal void among those who knew him but also a profound loss to the wider community.
In response to the incident, the Minister of Security, Jim Muhwezi, expressed sincere appreciation to the security agencies for their swift and professional response. He commended the Uganda Police Force, the Joint Anti-Terrorism Taskforce (JATT), the Crime Intelligence Directorate, and Assistant Inspector General Christopher Damulira for their quick action and the successful recovery of crucial evidence. According to the Minister, such efficiency strengthens public confidence that justice will be delivered.
Minister Muhwezi strongly condemned the crime, describing it as heinous and unacceptable. He stressed that acts of violence of this nature must be handled firmly to protect society and deter future wrongdoing.
The exchange between Minister Muhwezi and security leaders reflects unity and determination during a time of national grief. While the pain of losing such a promising professional remains heavy, the coordinated response from law enforcement and the clear promise of accountability offer hope. The nation now looks forward to seeing justice served and peace reinforced across every community.
