Kyambogo University is mourning the death of Musimenta Precious, a first-year Bachelor of Accounting and Finance student attached to North Hall, who was discovered dead in her room at Sports Pro-Hostel in Banda, Kampala.

University officials confirmed the news on Monday, September 28, 2026. According to a statement from the Dean of Students’ office, Musimenta, aged 26 and registered under student number 26/U/AFD/06334/PD, was found dead in her hostel room. Her body was taken to City Mortuary for a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death.

“The body has been taken to City Mortuary for further investigations where a post-mortem report on the cause of her death will be provided,” the university statement said. Officials have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding her death. The Student Welfare Department is in contact with her family regarding burial arrangements.

Fellow students have expressed deep sorrow online following the announcement. Some criticized circulating videos that appeared to show police transporting her body in a pickup truck rather than an ambulance, describing the handling as undignified.
