UCU: Saturday night saw two course mates, Rebecca Babirye and Rita Bajira, both pursing Bachelors in Social Works and Social Sciences, at Uganda Christian University, Mukono, get involved in a fatal accident. The two students boarded a Boda boda from Bugujju, Mukono, where their hostel is located heading to Kampala. Little did they know they would, unfortunately meet, a sharp knife of a short life.
The accident happened in Kigunga, between Mukono and Seeta at 7:30pm. These two students were going to Club Rouge, Kampala where a friend had organised her birthday party.
The bajaja they were on, had a head on collision with a truck that was heading to Mukono. The boda guy (whom this writer later I dentified as Byamukama Paul) died on the spot. Rebecca Babirye also, unfortunately died on the spot.
According to Steve Barinyawe, a traffic officer who was at the scene, the Boda guy (who was over speeding), tryied to overtake a saloon car but rather rummed into the truck.
Bajira Ritah survived and is currently admitted at the university hospital.
Babirye will be burried today at Gayaza. She was a student at St Augustine, Wakiso. He coursemates describe her as a cool, silent, bright friend. She will surely be missed.
May their souls rest in eternal peace!
