The Police boss in a video that went viral yesterday on social media involving the deliberate Spanking of an Old woman for no apparent reason died 3 weeks ago.

Police have revealed that the Assistant Inspector of Police (AIP) Sam Okiror attached to Mbale Central Police Station as the Field Force Commander died on September 21 at Embago clinic in Mbale after suffering an unknown health condition.

Okiror’s brutal actions stirred anger in the public after the video showed him in the company of other police officers flogging the woman for nothing and later moving on while laughing.

This compelled the Chief Political Commissar of Police, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Asan Kasingye who took to his Twitter handle to condemn the act before confirming in another tweet that he had indeed passed on.

“I have been reliably informed that this officer, AIP Okiror, the OC FFU Mbale died three weeks ago and was buried in Bukedea. This matter can be put to rest though should remain a lesson to all of us in Police Force,” he said.
