DNA Test Ordered on Mabirizi and Siblings as per Late Father’s Will That Omits Him from His Children’s List

According to the same order, Mabirizi will also undergo a DNA test, Mukono grade one magistrate Paul Matyama ruled.

The last funeral ceremonies for Mutumba, which were conducted by family members under the direction of one of his sons, Pastor Moses Male, without Mabirizi, who was by that point in prison, were declared invalid by the Chief Magistrates Court in Mengo last month.

This happened after Mabirizi contested Nalutaaya Stella, one of his siblings, using some of his late father’s property, which the lawyer said belonged to him.

The family’s decision to conduct final rites during which they dispersed Mutumba’s possessions while Mabirizi was not present was deemed improper by the court. The chief magistrate referred to this as being in contempt of court and intended to change the status quo in order to invalidate the lawyer’s earlier application.

Mabirizi filed a request at Mukono for an exhumation order for the remains of his late father Mohamed Mutumba, who was buried on June 21, 2022, in Ndese village, Ndese town, Seeta Namuganga sub-county in Mukono district, based on the Mengo Chief Magistrates Court’s decision.

A DNA test against all of Mabirizi’s siblings to determine their link with his father could be performed using a portion of the skeleton from his father’s remains thanks to the exhumation.
