Ruhegyera Joshua Nteireho, the man who was last night shot along the expressway together with a one Maya Florence Kamukazi lived a flamboyant and pompous life, according to close associates.
Contrary to reports that Nteireho was a bodyguard to Kamukazi, other colleagues refute the allegation and rather affirm the deceased was a friend and business partner to Museveni’s younger brother Michael Nuwagira, alias Toyota Museveni, whom he called uncle.
Nteireho was also a moneylender who ran a money lending business through a firm he co-founded called, Amber Finance Limited.

According to those who know the deceased, he was not new to the corridors of State House, with some claiming his closeness to Museveni’s young brother is not just it, but his mother is a distant cousin of President Museveni.
Nteireho, known closely by associates as ‘ever smart’ enjoyed a splashy life, and did not hide the fact that he knew so many people close to power including the First Son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba with whom he has a picture in the State House gardens.
He also posed for several pictures with bundles of cash dumped around him. In one of the moments capturing a video of himself removing several bundles of cash from his wardrobe.
“If he wasn’t showing car keys (a high-class Mercedes Benz which is also part of his expensively assembled fleet of cars), he would be showing bundles of cash,” a colleague of Nteireho spoke on condition of anonymity.
Nteireho was shot together with Kamikazi along the Entebbe expressway road close to Mpala stage on Thursday night.
