According to Jimmy Luyinda the family head, the move is intended to safeguard the grave from people who intend to exhume the body to steal the coffin and money that was buried with Ssemwanga.

Luyinda said that security is to remain at the grave until the family builds a wall around Ssemwanga's grave.

Some armed Policemen were seen standing by the grave while others were seated under a tree with others patrolling the site to ensure no one trespasses or accesses the grave yard.

The family had received reports that a group of people intended to exhume the body to steal the coffin and the money he was buried with.

The family members also expressed anger at reports doubting Ssemwanga's death.
