Bullet-riddled body

According to Sam Engola, every part of Okello’s body had a bullet wound, and he couldn’t comprehend what Sabiiti was up to.

He said that Sabiiti knew why he killed his brother, but he is also deceased, so no one can ask him.

“Okello (Engola) had 28 bullets on his body, every part of him had a bullet wound, when you see the body you wonder what this man Sabiiti was up to. Okello had guards, he died with a pistol on him, a big gun, all they could not protect him. It makes me now understand that only God can protect,” he said.
