Major General Hussein Ada, a former Camp Commandant at the Bombo Army General Headquarters, has passed away. He died on Thursday at Victoria Hospital in Ntinda, Kampala.
Ada’s military career began during the era of Idi Amin’s regime. After his service under Amin, he was arrested and detained at Luzira Prison, but was later released.
He subsequently joined Dr. Andrew Kayira’s group and was later integrated into the National Resistance Army (NRA), where he continued to serve until his retirement.
Dr. George Bokha, Member of Parliament for Obongi District, announced the news of Ada’s passing on social media, noting that the retired general had been hospitalized for some time after falling ill.
Hassan Kaps Fungaroo, former MP for Obongi and current FDC Northern Region Vice President, paid tribute to Ada, describing him as the highest-ranking military officer from Obongi District and a figure whose legacy will be long remembered.
Messages of condolence continue to pour in from across the West Nile region and beyond, honoring the life and service of the late Major General Hussein Ada.
