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.
