After completing her senior six from Green Hill Academy, Kibuli, Tycoon Drake Lubega’s daughter, Bonita Birungi Lubega as hardworking as she was joined her father’s polyethylene paper factory as a manager.
As a rich man’s daughter, one would expect Bonita to sit home and relax her senior six vacation away- this, however, wasn’t the case as she laboured on to earn her would-be university upkeep.
However, the 18-year-old’s life was nipped in the bud by an unidentified iron bar wielding hitmen who waylaid her as she returned home from work– leaving her for the dead.
“I am in deep pain because I had concluded arrangements for my daughter to move to Toronto University in Canada for her degree. She was set to travel in May,” Tycoon Lubega told mourners during Bonita’s burial in Mukono.
“I waited on my daughter for quite a long time, we called her phone, it was going through but she was not picking. We began to look out for her for almost three days,’’ he said at her burial in Mukono district.
After calling her phone for some time, a male voice picked saying, “The owner of this phone is dead find her at Mulago mortuary. And do not bother me again,” he then switched off the phone.
Lubega sent his people to confirm whether what they had been told was true. The family’s fears were to be confirmed after finding Birungi’s dead body lying in Mulago mortuary just as they had been told on phone.
Bonita was laid to rest at her ancestral home in Bunyiri Kyampisi sub-county in Mukono district on Sunday. May her soul Rest in eternal peace.
