Veteran musician Moses Matovu, founder of Afrigo Band, died in hospital after sustaining serious injuries in an incident in Kibuli, Kampala. Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. According to reports, Matovu was taken to hospital after the incident, but his condition deteriorated, and he later died. Authorities are working to establish the sequence of events leading to his death.
Initial reports suggested that Matovu was attacked by individuals locally referred to as "Kifeesi," but other accounts have disputed this version of events. Unverified reports claim that Matovu was involved in a physical confrontation with a young man who accused him of having a relationship with a woman named Rose Tumusime. The alleged confrontation may have been linked to accusations of a relationship between Matovu and Tumusime.
However, these claims remain allegations and have not been independently verified. Police have not publicly confirmed that a relationship dispute was the motive for the incident, nor have authorities established that Tumusime was responsible for or directly involved in Matovu's death. The police are expected to examine witness statements and other available evidence to establish the sequence of events.
Reports have circulated that a woman connected to the matter was picked up by police, although the circumstances and purpose of any such questioning or detention have not been confirmed. The conflicting accounts have raised questions about what happened in the moments leading to Matovu's death. Authorities are working to establish the facts and identify those responsible.
Moses Matovu was one of Uganda's most recognized musicians and a long-serving figure in Afrigo Band. His death has prompted an outpouring of grief from fellow musicians, fans, and members of the public who remember him for his contribution to Ugandan music over several decades. The investigation is ongoing, and many questions remain unanswered.
The allegations circulating about an alleged relationship dispute should be treated with caution until police or other credible sources provide confirmation. Authorities are expected to provide further information as the investigation progresses. The police are urging the public to remain calm and to provide any information that may assist in the investigation.
As the investigation continues, the music industry and fans are mourning the loss of a legendary musician. Matovu's legacy and contributions to Ugandan music will be remembered for years to come.
