KAMPALA – In a shocking turn of events, workers at the royal burial grounds in Fort Portal began excavating Prince David Kiijanangoma’s grave while the prince was still alive, according to eyewitnesses present at the site. The incident, which unfolded on Monday evening, has ignited a wave of anger and disbelief among locals and members of the Tooro royal family.
According to a spokesperson for the royal household, the prince’s condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse, but he was still receiving medical attention when the burial crew arrived. “We had instructed the team to wait for official confirmation of death,” the spokesperson said. “The premature digging is a grave error that disrespects the dignity of the royal family and the cultural traditions we hold dear.”
Local authorities have opened an investigation into the miscommunication that led to the incident. Community leaders are calling for stricter protocols around the handling of high‑profile deaths, and a public apology has been demanded from the contractors responsible for the burial preparations.
