Idi Amin, one of the most evil men to have lived on planet earth killed an estimated 500,000 Human beings. This blog is dedicated to honoring his victims. The bodies of most of Amin's victims were clandestinely disposed of or mutilated beyond recognition, never to be recovered by their families. The vast majority of the victims are unidentifiable for this reason. If your loved one was liquidated put their details in any comments section.

On Saturday Morning at about 1:30am on February 5th 1977 at Archbishop Janani Luwum’s Namirembe home, Luwum heard dogs barking wildly and he knew something was wrong. Without switching on the lights, he walked down the stairs from his bedroom. At the door he looked through the curtains and he was able to see one man standing in front of my door.
The man at the door was Ben Ongom and known to him in the past.
The man called out; “Archbishop open we have come open”, when he opened the door armed men sprang up shouting Archbishop, Archbishop, show us the arms, he replied what arms, they insisted they were in the house.
The men who came to his house were commanded by an Arabic speaking man putting on a red Kaunda suit. The man in the red Kaunda put a cocked gun against my stomach asking me to get back into the house, he was shouting “show us the arms, take us to your bedroom”. Janani told them, “I have no weapon but the Bible.”
when they got to the bedroom They woke up Mary Lawinyo (The archbishop’s wife) and they started searching crawling under the bed, climbing into the wardrobe, opening the suitcases, boxes and they found nothing.
From Luwum’s bedroom they went to the children’s bedroom and they repeated the same, the young ones were left sleeping the older ones woke up and went around the house with them.
After checking the entire upstairs of the house and failed to discover anything the security men moved downstairs, at this point Mr Ben Ongom who was handcuffed began to say
“Archbishop, you see some time back we bought ammunition and divided it with My Olobo who works in the ministry of Labour in Kampala. I kept some and Mr Olobo kept some. Now mine has been found and certainly because of involving myself in politics am going to die in any case for it. When we went to Olobo’s home with the security people they searched his house they found nothing but they arrested him.
I thought that Olobo might have transferred his share of the arms to Dr Lalobo’s home (medical superintendent of Mengo hospital) since he was also an Acholi and they seem to be related. We have been to Dr Lalobo’s home and searched his home but found nothing.
The security men had arrested him. Then I suggested to the security men that Dr Lalobo might have transferred the ammunition to the archbishop’s house, this is why we have come to you. Please help us. If the arms are not here tell us the location of any Acholi or Langi homes in Namirembe so that they can be searched “.
