In mid-March 2023, Akena suffered a setback and his condition worsened at Yot-Kom Medical Centre in Kitgum where he was receiving his treatment. On the Palm Sunday of April 2, 2023 at 1:34am, our dear Godfrey breathed his last.
A civil engineer, Akena, as we fondly called him, was beginning to live his dream until a car crash in South Sudan on June 16, 2018. The crash left him confined to a wheelchair.
