“Why justice, infrastructure, and jobs not promises will decide Lango’s future in 2026” – Dr Bob Marley Achura.
Lango Paramount Chief Yosam Odur Ebii passed away on November 10, 2025, at Lira University Teaching Hospital aged 99. Following his death, Prime Minister Fredrick Ogwal Oyee has been the acting Won Nyaci.
Apap Yosam Odur Ebii, Won Nyaci of Lango died at 99 on November 10 at Lira University Teaching Hospital.
This decision stems from the fact that the leadership of the Lango Cultural Institution, under Eng. Odongo Okune, had barred Yosam Odur Ebill from accessing the centre for the past two years.
For a year now, Eng. Michael Odongo Okune has been operating as Won Nyaci of LCI on the “successful grant of stay of execution” by the Court of Appeal with the main suit yet to be heard to its conclusion.
The death of Won Nyaci Yosam Odur Ebii occurred on Monday morning, November 10, 2025 at Lira University Teaching Hospital.
Speaking at a press conference in Lira City on November 2, Queen Dorothy Amolo, a nominated MP candidate for Oyam South said she’s taking the entire political leadership of Lango.
Land and Equity Movement in Uganda has also organized indigenous seed and food exhibition at Chegere sub-county headquarters in Maruzi North, Apac district.

The demonstration was intended to pressure the government over its failure to compensate people who lost their cattle during the conflict of the 1980s.
Rose Achola, a coordinator from Ogur in Lira district, stated that the demonstration is intended to show the government that Ministers Obua, Aceng, and MP Julius Acon have deeply interfered in the compensation matter.
