Bizarre! Man seeks court order to exhume body of late businessman, his reason will shock you!



A man from Uganda, Ivan Ssemwanga, died on the 25th of May following a terrible heart attack. The late Ssemwanga was a flamboyant billionaire businessman and was well known the social circles. He was popular for throwing wads of cash at revelers in parties he attended in his home country, Uganda, and South Africa where he has business interests.


Ssemwanga was buried on the 30th of May according to traditional rites. However, there was a twist to the whole burial event as money, in different currencies, was thrown into the grave by his rich gang crew, family, and friends. The currencies involved are: South African Rands, Ugandan Shillings, and the United States Dollars



Currently, there is a problem for his family as a man identified as Magugu Abey, a Ugandan citizen, is seeking court orders to exhume the body of the late businessman so that he can retrieve the money his gang members buried alongside his body.

In the suit papers filed with the country's High Court, Abey has named 'A Plus Funeral Management' – the management company that handled the burial, and the 'Bank of Uganda' as respondents. Abey has accused the bank of acting in negligence by failing to ensure the respect of monetary currency of Uganda and other countries.

According to him, he is seeking that all the currencies put in the grave and buried along with Ivan Ssemwanga’s body be removed by ordering the respondents to exhume the corpse of late Ssemwanga for the purpose of respecting the Ugandan currency and other currencies involved.

Abbey is also seeking custody of the said wards of cash when they are retrieved. His reason is that he wants the cash to be put back into circulation.



The late Ivan Ssemwanga was married to Zari Hassan for 10 years and their union was blessed with three sons before they divorced. Hassan is a Ugandan socialite and had earlier rubbished reports making the rounds that her ex-husband, Ivan Ssemwanga, died after eating a poisoned meal.

Soon after his death was made public, Ugandan media had carried the news that Ivan Ssemwanga was poisoned at an entertainment joint in the country’s capital, Kampala about three weeks to his passing on at South Africa’s Steve Biko Academic Hospital. The media reports attributed the claims to the businessman’s close family members

Zari is now married to a popular music act, Tanzanian Bongo singer, Diamond Platnumz.
