Even though it was a joyous day for most, one student can’t say the same. Jessy Ofwoni, a mass communication student who graduated on Friday at Uganda Christian University lost his mom on his graduation day. Sources that attended the third part of the 16th graduation ceremony in Mukono said she collapsed during the time of the graduation and was rushed to Namirembe Hospital, Mukono unconscious and died from there.
The broken Ofwoni says his mother has been there for him and made sure that he got the best education ever. He described her as his heaven on earth, a fighter and above all, the most loving person he’d had on this earth. Sadly, she won’t see Ofwoni reap from the quality education she toiled for.
Her body, that was expected to be released today morning still lies at Mulago Hospital. Relatives say the body has been held at the Mulago mortuary for doctors to carry out a thorough autopsy. A requiem mass is expected to take place tomorrow at 1pm at Bugolobi Church of Resurrection, opposite Bugolobi Flats.
May the good Lord comfort Ofwondi and grant his mother eternal rest.
