As the media fraternity and the country at large is continuing to pay tribute to Slain vlogger Isma Olaxess, Sheilah Gashumba reveals how he was a candle that lit all the others around him.
On Saturday 6th May 2023, Uganda Bloggers Association president Ibrahim Tusubira a.k.a Isma Olaxess was shot dead by a gunman near his residence in Kyanja.
His nature of death left several people within the entertainment circles shocked as each started looking for reasons why he would be killed in such a gruesome manner.
On Sunday evening, Isma Olaxess was laid to rest in Mukono where mammoth crowds inclusive of some of the elite entertainers, politicians, and socialites gathered to pay their last respects.
Sheilah Gashumba who was one of the people that were relatively close to Isma Olaxess revealed how attached she was to Isma Olaxess in a tribute video.
The NRG Radio Uganda presenter, in a somber mood, reveals how Olaxess was a candle that lit up others and how he always motivated her in a video through her TikTok.
“One of my favorite people on social media passed away, I couldn’t make it to the burial but this guy used to hype me a lot on social media.”
“He always recognized real. What was real was real to him, what was fake was fake to him and I’m gonna celebrate him and sing for him a beautiful song. I’m not a singer but I feel this relates to the whole thing,” she revealed.
Isma’s murder has since been condemned by many Ugandans including parliament speaker Anita Among and Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who have tasked police to swiftly investigate the killing and apprehend the perpetrators.
The motive of his killing remains unclear but his bitter tongue had lashed out at many most especially opposition supporters as well as many top government officials including speaker Anita Among, prime minister Robinah Nabbanja among others.
