Today marks a sad day for the Lugbara cultural institution, as His Highness Jason Avutia, Agofe III, passed away at the age of 96.
Agofe breathed his last at around 5pm at his palace in Mvara dri in Arua City, without any particular illness.
He had been requesting to hold the next Agofe since 2014, and it was his dying wish.
Unfortunately, while the process of choosing his successor was set to reach its conclusion on February 1st 2023, he died before the next Agofe could take place.
we pray for peace for his soul.
