Warrior priestess with ‘spiritual powers’ laid to rest
Ms Lakwena was 50 when she died from unknown causes on January 17 in neighbouring Kenya, where she had lived in a refugee camp for 20 years.
Her casket was flown on Friday to Uganda, and on Saturday she was buried in her mother’s home village of Bungatira, in the Gulu district of the country’s troubled north. No senior Ugandan officials attended the funeral.
