Muslim clerics have described the deceased as a polite man who was non-violent and religious.
Uganda security forces yesterday announced that they had killed one of the most valuable targets in their counter-terrorism operations, but the family said Sheikh Abbas Mohammad’s killing was “cold blood murder … of a peaceful servant of Allah”.
Sheikh Kilevu, an Imam at the Fulkan Mosque in Gangu, Makindye Ssabagabo Municipality in Wakiso District, was gunned by the counter-terrorism squad that raided his home in the wee hours of yesterday.
In accounts of the circumstances in which the Muslim cleric was shot dead, the Defence and Military spokesperson, Brig Flavia Byekwaso, said security forces put Sheikh Kilevu out of action after he attempted to flee.
