Kampala, Uganda | URN | The Deputy Commander of the Field Force Unit, Commissioner of Police Ecotu Agapitus, has passed on at Mulago Hospital. The cause of death is still unknown.
At the time of his death, he was the Deputy Commander of the Field Force Unit (FFU), the elite police formation in charge of public order, riot control and tactical operations, serving under AIGP John Nuwagira after his transfer in the 2024 reshuffle by IGP Abbas Byakagaba.
Police sources at Naguru say his death has deprived the Force of one of its most experienced senior officers, whose career spanned administration, field operations and international peacekeeping.
Before his deployment to the FFU, Ecotu served in the Directorate of Human Resource Administration at Police Headquarters, where he was in charge of personnel and institutional management.
