Uganda Martyr Ambrose Kibuuka

After his baptism, Ambrose Kibuuka, quite aware that the he would be martyred soon, went to bid farewell to his parents. He firmly resisted all their entreaties to abandon the religion that placed him in such peril, and returned to his post to await his fate, which didn’t take long.

After the condemnation to death of the Christians on 26th May 1886, Kibuuka was one of the 13 martyrs taken and burnt alive in the Namugongo furnace on Thursday, 3rd June 1886 (Ascension Day).

Ambrose Kibuuka Katikamu was born in Ssingo County, at Butuzzaliiso (Bunyiga). His mother was Ampera, and his father, Kisuule, was a former official drumbeater to the Kabaka. Ambrose Kibuuka belonged to the Scaly Ant-eater (Lugave) Clan, and was eighteen at the time of his death at Namugongo.
