The family of Martha Ahumuza, who mysteriously passed away at Mezo Noir nightclub in Kampala, has urged the public to refrain from spreading false information regarding her death.
Seth Muraali, the National Sports and Games Coordinator at the Office of the Chairman NRM and father of the deceased, called for an end to speculation, emphasizing the need to allow the family to mourn peacefully while security agencies carry out investigations.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the loss of our beloved daughter, Ahumuza Martha. As of now, we ask the public to stop speculating and circulating wrong information on social media as we put her to rest and let the security organs do their job of investigating,” Muraali stated.
Ahumuza reportedly collapsed on Wednesday night after consuming an alcoholic beverage suspected to have been tampered with by a staff member at the nightclub.
She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Following her death, authorities arrested several bar administrators and workers, leading to the temporary closure of Mezo Noir.
She will be laid to rest on Sunday, March 23, at Nyarubaga Village in Mbarara.
