Comments
In Uganda anything is possible. M7 gave hime a go a head to kill Ugandans and sale their organs. It is a family organized business headed by Rwabwogo, Tumwebaze, Mwenda, and many others.
M7 has never come out and talked about it ever since organ extraction started. This implies he knows the business.
