Adolphus Mukasa Ludigo, one of the Banyoro martyrs, was a tall, slender, dark-skinned young man, whose forehead bore the tribal marks of his people. He was about twenty-four when he perished in the flames at Namugongo and, like his compatriot Andrew Kaggwa, had been carried off by Baganda raiders when still a young boy.
Uganda Martyr Adlophus Mukasa Ludigo
Adolphus Mukasa Ludigo started to follow instructions in the Catholic religion about 1881, when the Court was at Nabulagala and the Catholic mission very close to it at Kasubi.
He continued his lessons after the departure of the priests both at the palace and, when his duties allowed, at the home of his well-loved fellow-countryman, Andrew Kaggwa.
