The Kabaka who was wanted by the government of the day, and had a bounty of 12,500 British pounds over his head, hid in the area for 21-days as he plotted his escape to exile. During the time, he stayed at the home of area resident Angelina Nabakooza, as his men silently plotted to sneak him out of the country.
When Sir Edward Muteesa and his guards reached Sembabule, he was received by the Mawogola County Chief Sebastian Kitayimbwa who alongside his men plotted on how to keep the Kabaka safe. Angelina Nabakooza was assigned the role of preparing meals for the Kabaka and providing him with shelter as a group of 11 men took charge of his security.
