Moslems in the town of Mbarara are in tears and shock, after their new District Kadhi, Sheikh Ahmed Kwikiriza, died in a Friday morning accident in Mbarara town.
According to reports, the accident occurred along High Street near the Independence Park, when Sheikh Kwikiriza was travelling in his official vehicle heading to the Mosque to join other Muslims to celebrate Eid al-Adha, also called the "Sacrifice Feast", one of the holiest days in the Muslim calendar.
Eyewitnesses say Kwikiriza's vehicle lost control as the Sheikh tried to overtake another vehicle, veered off the road and hit a tree. He died on the spot.
Mbarara District Police Commander Jaffar Magyezi told us that the deceased's body is now at Mbarara Regional Hospital mortuary.
Sheikh Kwikiriza assumed office last year in acting capacity.
Muslims around the world are today celebrating Eid al-Adha, the day that honours the willingness of Ibrahim, or Abraham, to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command.
