A city tycoon who died due to a mysterious illness begged for his life in his last days following a land buying spree to which relatives have attributed the cause of his demise.
A city tycoon who died due to a mysterious illness begged for his life in his last days following a land buying spree to which relatives have attributed the cause of his demise.
Haji Ismail Sessaazi, 38, who had been buying off land owners and had severally been accused of land grabbing in areas around Kampala, Wakiso and Mityana, passed away at Kampala International Hospital last week.
Also known as Kawolongojjo, Ismail was a resident of Sseguku - Nazziba along Entebbe road but also had a home in Mityana. His first victims were residents in his own home area whom he chased off the land saying he had bought the entire village.
The villages include Ssamba (his home village where the resting place of his ancestors is), Mpumudde, Kikonge, Kisaana and Nakabazzi, all located in Sekanyonyi sub county, Mityana district. Over 600 residents were evicted from the land.
In Seguku – Nazziba, he was accused of grabbing a late Kasozi's land that also was a resting place for his ancestors. He divided the land into plots and sold it off.
Kawolongojjo went ahead to evict his own father from their ancestral land and settled him in Nzunga village, Nakaseeta, Busimbi sub county. He divided the land into plots and sold it off.
However, two years ago Kawolongojjo contracted a mysterious disease that paralysed his arms, legs and other parts of the body. He is reported to have visited several hospitals in Germany and India but doctors failed to diagonise his sickness saying they did not detect anything.
He traversed the country visiting witchdoctors and herbalists but failed to heal. He was told that the source of the mysterious illness was the land he was buying.
Kawolongojjo is reported to have started calling whoever he had bought land from and returned it at free will begging that they spare his life.
Mityana residents testify that they were shocked when the tycoon returned one day and called all those he had taken land from. He returned the land titles and sale agreements of debtors whose land he had confiscated after they failed to honour their payments.
One of the residents who spoke to this reporter on condition of anonymity said he had a sh2m debt but was to pay back sh5m which he failed to raise.
As a result he lost his land and house to the tycoon but in January this year, Kawolongojjo called him and returned his land title saying he had forgiven him.
On June 2, Sseguku residents were stunned when the tycoon told them he had traversed the country and found out that the land buying spree was the cause of his mysterious illness. He informed them that he was giving them back their land so they could spare his life.
One of the residents, Livingstone Kaye, said though it is not good to talk ill of the dead, the tycoon was an unscruplous businessman. He said they sold him part of their family land but he instead grabbed it all. He said the tycoon razed his father's house but recently he gave them back the land which was also his ancestors' resting place.
Kawolongojjo, who is survived by two widows and several children, owned refilling stations along Kampala - Mubende road and several other properties in Kampala. He was laid to rest on Saturday afternoon.
