One of the most outspoken Muslim clerics, Sheikh Nuhu Muzaata Batte has been confirmed dead.
For days this week, speculations have been making rounds on social media claiming that Sheikh Muzaata is dead as others said he was just admitted but critically ill.
Muzaata passed on at International Hospital Kampala (IHK) where he has spent days battling for his life in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The actual cause of his death is yet to be established.
However, close sources indicate that, for months now, the no-nonsense Muslim cleric has been unwell but the situation allegedly intensified when one of his wives Kulthum Nabunya moved out of their marital home in Kawempe after a bitter verbal attack from Muzaata.
At the beginning of August, it is said the couple had a quarrel and the wife packed her things and left the home leaving Muzaata emotionally broken. The two have three children together and the wife works with Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA).
