The Town Clerk of Lira City, Theophilus Tibihika, died in a car accident on the Lira-Apac road. The accident occurred on Monday morning when his Toyota Hilux double cabin pickup truck, with the license plate UAM 450V, overturned in Akalo, Kole District.
The exact cause of the accident is not yet known, but locals believe the vehicle lost control and flipped several times. Tibihika was reportedly heading to Kampala via the Masindi Port Ferry.
Lira City Mayor Sam Atul confirmed Tibihika’s death, calling it a significant loss for the city and the entire Lango region. Tibihika’s body was taken to Lira Regional Referral Hospital Mortuary for a post-mortem examination.
Tibihika became the Town Clerk of Lira City in June 2022, after transferring from Fort Portal City. This incident is the second fatal road crash in the Lango region within two days. The first crash happened on Saturday night when a minibus carrying Lango Fufa drum players and fans collided with a Fuso lorry on the Lira-Soroti road, resulting in three deaths, including two children.
Sorry about that,May His Soul rest in Eternal Peace
