Below is their official statement.
With deep sorrow, GUVNOR UGANDA regrets the death of its patron Johnny Ahimbisibwe. Always smiling, laughing, smart and affable is how we shall always remember Johnny who spent many weekends with us having a good time.
What happened to him is tragic, and we have handed the case over to Uganda Police for the law to take its course. We are assisting the Police in every possible way, including CCTV footage of the incident.
GUVNOR UGANDA is renown for its attention to security matters, and many a times, we’re rebuked for being ‘too strict’. It’s all for the security of our esteemed clients, that we do everything humanly possible to keep them safe on site.
At this time, we would like the public to give the family of Johnny some peace to grieve their son, and to let the Police do its work unhindered, so as to get to the bottom of this tragic incident. It’s important that facts are not muddled with rumours and insinuations because the result of that will be a messy Police investigation.
We assure the public and our esteemed clients that as always, we’ll do everything humanly possible to keep you safe within our premises.
We will put the family in our prayers and give them the assistance they need to take Johnny to his final resting place.
R.I.P Johnny
