The Deputy Resident State Attorney in Nebbi, Emmanuel Bumbi Naguyo, has been found dead at his residence in Riverview Cell, Central Ward, Nebbi Municipality, with police investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.

Naguyo was expected to appear in court on Monday morning to represent the State but failed to report, prompting colleagues to search for him after unsuccessful attempts to reach him by phone.

A colleague who visited his rented residence near Tokyo House reportedly found the door locked. Police were alerted, and officers broke down the door, discovering his body inside at around 10am.

Nebbi District Police Commander SP James Mwesigye described the death as sudden, saying the cause had not yet been established.

Police said a postmortem examination would help determine the cause of death. His body was taken to Nebbi General Hospital mortuary.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) expressed shock over his death and extended condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

According to the ODPP, Naguyo had served as a State Attorney for three years. He undertook postgraduate legal studies at the Law Development Centre in Kampala between 2016 and 2017 and was enrolled as an advocate and a member of the Uganda Law Society.

Police investigations are ongoing, while funeral arrangements are expected to be communicated later.
