The Deputy Inspector General of Police (D/IGP) Maj Gen Paul Lokech has Saturday morning died.
The battle-hardened UPDF combatant reportedly died of blood clot.
Uganda Police is organizing a presser and will give more details.
Lokech was christened the Lion of Mogadishu after commanding a contingent of UPDF soldiers that flushed out Al-Shabaab terrorists in Somali capital Mogadishu.
Rest in Peace.
