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.
