He was the Director Liaison NRA/British Military Training Team (BMTT), Deputy Camp Commandant and Chairman Division Court Martial – Land Force Headquarter – Bombo and Cantonment Commander Magamaga.

“Our deepest condolences go to his family and relatives. May the soul of Brigadier General Geoffrey Kyabihende Taban Rest in Eternal Peace.”

Karemire said burial arrangements for the fallen General will be announced later.

Brig Taban hails from Kazo District.
