Ugandan authorities are investigating the mysterious death of Nigerian footballer Abubakar Lawal, a player with Vipers Sports Club, who allegedly fell from the third floor of Voicemail Shopping Arcade in Bwebajja on the morning of February 24, 2025. His sudden demise has raised serious questions and suspicions, with conflicting reports about the events leading up to his death.
Initially, reports suggested that Lawal died in a motorcycle accident. However, Vipers SC refuted this claim, stating that police confirmed he fell from Room 416 of Voice Mall. In a statement released on the club’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Vipers acknowledged the growing concerns surrounding his death, hinting at possible foul play.

“The police report confirms that on Monday morning, Lawal Abubakar fell from the third floor (Room 416) of Voice Mall, Bwebajja, and not from a motorcycle accident as earlier reported. He was rushed to Entebbe Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival,” the club said.

This contradiction has deepened suspicions about the real circumstances behind the player’s death.
