Ozo

Ali Butabika

Ali Toweli

Sudanes Nubian. Run one of Amin's instruments of terror, the Public Safety Unit (Naguru) which acquired notoriety in late 1971 when he took over.

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.

Brigadier Isaac Maliyamungu

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.

A Zairean.

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.
