Kampala International University (Ishaka campus) fresh graduate of Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery identified as Friday Nicholas has died while on course to join Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF).
While on the UPDF recruitment excercise yesterday (Saturday, July 2nd) at Buhinga grounds in Fortportal, Nicholas collapsed just as he was a metre away from the finishing line.
He was rushed to Buhinga hospital in Fortportal for medical attention where he breathed his last on Sunday morning.
Nicholas graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery during the 25th KIU graduation ceremony.
According to Daphine Alisemera, an old girl (OG) at Christ School Bundibugyo where the deceased attained his ‘UACE’, Nicholas was a footballer at one of the clubs in Bundibugyo, it was therefore terrific and shocking news that he died from a running exercise.
“The boy went to join the army yesterday and just collapsed on the running exercise, yet he has been an active football player!” She wondered.
Friday Nicholas was a born of Nyahuka town council in Bundibugyo district.
May his soul rest in eternal peace!
