“After the March 1974 Arube coup attempt, Amin learnt a lesson, especially when he met the incensed soldiers of Malire Mechanised Specialised Regiment at Lubiri, Mengo. Amin realised what an angry and frustrated soldier could do.On that day, when the dust settled, Amin hosted a night marathon meeting with senior army officers, as well as those who had been arrested for attempting to stage the coup, at his Command Post in Kololo. Without fear, officers voiced out their anger at the brutality meted to the citizens by soldiers. And it was resolved that Ugandans deserved better and soldiers must stop extra judicial killings and brutalising citizens. From Malire garrison, Amin also accepted as “ordered” by the soldiers to dismiss Brig Hussein Malera (a Sudanese), who was the Acting Chief of Staff of the Uganda Army and promote Brig Mustafa Adrisi to General and appoint him army commander.

Amin’s brother put in the boot
Once Maj Gen Mustafa took office, he vowed to crack down on errant soldiers. He strongly castigated soldiers for torturing citizens and particularly those putting Ugandans in car boots.

But Amin’s brother, Maj Idi Nebbi, disregarded Maj Gen Mustafa’s command – and he paid for it the hard way.

One day, Amin’s brother, Maj Idi Nebbi (Amin used to call him Maj Moshe, after Israel’s Gen Moshe Diane). Maj Nebbi took his car for repair at Katwe [a Kampala suburb].

In the process of mounting the engine, the mechanic forgot to put back one screw [mountings]. So, the engine was put on three screws [mountings], instead of four. As Maj Nebbi drove, the engine tilted to one side. He checked and found one [mounting] missing. So, he said this was a plot to kill him.

He went back and arrested the mechanic, a young boy and put him in the boot. He drove around town, doing his other businesses. Later in the day, Maj Nebbi drove to the army headquarters [at Bulange building in Mengo, Kampala] and he parked his car outside.

As a norm, Gen Mustafa used to come out of his office and sit at the verandah to catch some fresh air. On this particular day, Gen Mustafa came out of his office and sat on the verandah as usual.

While there, the mechanic, who was still locked in Maj Nebbi’s car boot, heard Gen Mustafa’s voice. He made noise, calling out: “Mzee ndi wanno bantade mu buttu y’emmotoka”. Meaning: “Mzee, I am here. I have been put in the car boot.”

Gen Mustafa asked: “Whose car is this?” Soldiers told him it was for Maj Nebbi. He called him out and said: “Now I will show you this country does not belong to your brother!”

Gen Mustafa called his driver, Sgt Patrick Kitaka. He asked him to pull out his car [a Mercedes- Benz]. He ordered Maj Nebbi to enter the boot of his Mercedes and instructed the driver to lock it.

He then told the driver: “Drive this man to Jinja [district in eastern Uganda] and back. When you reach Jinja, report to the Commanding Officer there and tell him to call me”.
Sgt Kitaka drove to Jinja barracks and back, with Maj Nebbi in the boot. Once in Jinja, the Commanding Officer (Lt Col Hussein Mohammed), called Gen Mustafa, saying: “Afande, your driver has reported to me with the “luggage” inside the boot. He is on his way back.”

When the driver reported back at Bulange, Gen Mustafa told him to open the boot. He slapped Maj Nebbi and barked in Swahili: “We mujinga, toka injje!” Meaning: “You fool, get out.” He asked him: “Is it nice inside there?” Maj Nebbi was trembling.

Gen Mustafa then rang Amin and told him: “I have put your brother, Maj Nebbi, in the boot of my car and driven him to Jinja and back because he put a civilian in the boot of his car after a slight mistake”.

Amin replied: “No problem, that is your job.” From that day, soldiers became more disciplined. The soldiers who continued misbehaving and killing people were from the State Research Bureau, which was not directly under the army.

Col Juma Oris

Minister of Information

“The order to shoot to kill the coup plotters: Col Elly Aseni, 2nd Lt Mawa, Capt John Maturima and myself (Captain Bakka), was issued by the commander-in-chief, Idi Amin, and was read by the minister of information and broadcasting, Col Juma Oris.”

Sgt Toburo

Toburo  “Arube decided to enter the house because the door was open. He entered, moving slowly,” Bakka says. “This I was told by Toburo, a sergeant related to Elly [Aseni]. Toburo was a younger brother of Elly. He had been deployed with our men. He survived. He was among the men who invaded.”

“He told me that as Arube entered, Amin hid behind the main door. It did not cross his mind that it would be possible [for Amin to take cover behind the door]. Arube ignored the door and just passed.”
“He thought the target [Amin] was hiding inside other rooms in the house. His attention was on the other rooms. Unfortunately, he had left Amin behind. Amin fired three bullets which hit Arube from his back.”
“He fell face down – meaning the bullets came from behind. The hole where the bullet comes out is bigger than where it enters from. I happened to see Arube’s body at the Mulago hospital mortuary, it had three bullet holes.”
“Immediately Amin recognised Sgt Toburo, he put him at gun point, saying ‘I’m going to kill you. Where is your brother?”
“Then he said [to Toburo], ‘you say Arube killed himself. You must never say I killed him. [You must say] after he [Arube] realised he couldn’t succeed, out of fear of embarrassment, he turned the gun on himself. I want you to maintain that.’ Now, that is the story which many people believed.”
Sgt Toburo was taken to Radio Uganda and said what Amin had told him to say. http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/PeoplePower/Three-gunshots-that-ended-the-coup-against-Amin/-/689844/2807990/-/5agj00/-/index.html

Capt John Maturima

Wanted dead or alive
Of all the commanding officers in the coup plot, the most risky mission fell on Capt John Maturima. He was a Lugbara from Maracha County, in the West Nile sub-region. He was one of the best tank commanders in the Uganda Army and was based at the Malire Mechanised Specialised Regiment.
Maturima was ordered by Arube to take Amin, dead or alive, to his secret location in Kampala where he was coordinating with Lt Col Elly Aseni, the battle to topple the president. The forces that were to hunt Amin and his wanted military police commanding officer, Brig Hussein Malera, were all from the Lubiri-based garrison in Kampala.

Lt Col Abdul Kisule

In April 1974, a commission of inquiry to investigate what led to the coup plot was established. It was chaired by the Uganda Army officer No: UO.110 Lt Col Abdul Kisule, the commanding officer of Masindi Artillery Regiment. 

Earlier Col Kisule had defied the order to arrest Malera
Having failed to locate Malera in Kampala, the search for him shifted to Kigumba in Masindi District where he had a country home.
In an interview with Sunday Monitor at his home in Nagojje, Mukono District, last week, Lt Col Abdul Kisule, the former commanding officer of the Masindi Artillery Regiment, revealed how he defied Brig Arube’s order to arrest Malera.

In Summary

Costly mistake. In a continuation from last week, retired Captain Isaac Bakka, Brig Charles Arube’s accomplice in the March 1974 attempted coup against president Idi Amin, narrates how Arube blundered. He says Arube changed the initial plan and ended up in Amin’s ambush at his famous command post at Kololo Hill in Kampala where the president had been trapped, writes Faustin Mugabe.

Dear Byaruhanga J Rubbins,
Thank you for the insights into the Amin murders. My comment is about late Brig.Gen.Yorokamu Tizihwayo,western brigade commander Kasese 1975-1979.
Circumstances of his death are conflicting,others say he was murdered by SRB on instructions of Amin while others say it was internal rivarly in the army since Amin at the height of 1979 war, was to appoint him army chief of staff.
Infact when he was commanding officer of 2nd paratropper bn, he had a serios conflict with a certain Major Abiriga where he survived death narrowly.
Could you kindly please give us information surrounding his disappearance and eventual death.
Bwendero.

Idi Amin

Amin ordered murders using euphemisims that were recognized as orders for execution by his henchmen. One phrase was "Give him the VIP treatment" which meant death after torture, a phrase i heard him use when he was ordering the death of the Minister of Information, Alex Ojera in september 1972. Other code phrases were "Take him to Malire" and "Kalasi" which means "death" in Nubian, a language few ugandans speak. Source Henry Kyemba.....

The two Americans were killed and were buried in a shallow grave nearby. Major Juma was later seen driveing 'stroh's ble Volkswagen in Mbarara. When the American Embasys in Kampala began inquiries a week later, the bodies were dug up from their grave, put into sacks and burned in the barracks. Their remains were dumped in a river. The car was burned and thrown into a mountain valley.

Re: Oduka by H.Kyemba

Ahmed Oduka was one of the men who had reported tha amin planned to asassinate Obote on rturn from Singapore. He had fled immediately after the coup to Mombasa. One of Amin's men visited him ther in march and told Oduka that it woul be safe to return. When he arrived, he was taken to see Amin, who asked him to record a statement at Makindye prison. The meeting was friendly, but as soon as Oduka left, Amin ordred him to be "taken to Malire" There his skull was smashed in with a club. News of the murder reached Amin while I was with him. He was telephoned by Brig Bogere, who reported the facts of Oduka's death. Amin turned to me and said coldly, "Oduka is dead" as if reporting the completion of some trivial task. I already knew btter than to react in any way... Source. Henry Kyemba. Amin's former Minister of Health.

A peculiarly sadistic form of death was developed by Ali Towelli. To save ammunition, one prisoner was forced to batter out the brains of another with a heavy hammer on the promise of a reprieve. The "executioner" is then killed in the same way by another brought from the cells with the same promise.

One of the most evil was this Lieutenant who was in charge of quelling dissent in the army. Before he joined the army, he had been a gatekeeper at nyanza Textile Industries, where Kisajja(Henry Kyemba's brother) was personnel manager. At the time of the coup, he commandeered a tank with which he shot up the entrance to the Entebbe airport terminal, killing two priests. After the coup he headed Amin's execution gangs, with unlimite power to execute anybody in the army, even officers senior to him His modes of execution are as atrocious as anything imaginable. he is fond of disemboweling. Along with several other officers, he is known to have executed his victims by having them run over by tank. But perhaps the grisliest episode concerned Francis Walugembe, who had previously been Mayor of Masaka. In September 1972, Walugembe was arrested, had his genitals cut off and was paraded through the streets before being killed and dismembered. So violent and brutal is Malyamungu that even Amin once commented to me that he feared he might be going mad.

Colonel John Mwaka

Lt. Col. John Mwaka, an Acholi, was the Chairman of the Uganda Army Court Martial, Makindye.

On June 4, 1974, the tribunal sat for the second time, according to the records available.
Lt Col Aseni had just returned from exile from Congo, and as soon as he returned, he was arrested and court marshalled.

He was accused of treason and therefore would be hanged if convicted. But the soldiers had resolved that in the event that he was sentenced to death, they would organise for another coup. Amin got that military intelligence and secretly told Col Mwaka, chairman of the military tribunal, to alter the judgment and exonerate Aseni of all charges.
Aseni was, therefore, released and was later appointed to the USSR as Uganda’s ambassador.
He died in battle in 1980 near Bondo, Arua, in the war against Tanzanians and Ugandan forces that had ousted Amin a year earlier.
