Kabalagala police are investigating the cause of a fire that claimed the lives of five people in Yoka zone Bukasa Parish, Makindye Division Kampala City. 

The Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, says that the fire started around 2 am this morning. 

“It is alleged that the fire started from an unattended candle from a makeshift house of Ogola Charles who deals in picking plastics and later spread to the house of Luyomba Steven 50, killing everyone,” he said in a statement. 

Owoyesigyire identifies the deceased as Luyomba, his wife Nafula Doreen, and their children Lubega Sumei, 16, Naiga Edith 15, and Andrew 7. 

He explains that the Fire Prevention and Rescue Services managed to extinguish the flames and urges the public against leaving fires unattended as they are dangerous to others in case of an accident.
