[1][2] Nuhu Mbogo Kyabasinga was a prince (Mulangila) of the Buganda Kingdom who was born in 1835 to Kabaka Suuna Kalema I and Kubina, his wife.
Kyabasinga was widely regarded as an intelligent and pious figure, whose commitment to his faith had a significant impact on the development of Islam in Uganda.
[7] Throughout his life, Mbogo was committed to promoting Islam among his fellow Ugandans and played a significant role in the growth and development of the religion in the country.
Mbogo's exile and subsequent return are seen as important parts of his legacy and contributed to his reputation as a brave and committed leader.
He played a key role in the Muslim resistance against Kabaka Mwanga II's attempts to suppress Islam in the Buganda Kingdom in the late 19th century.
[15] In the early 20th century, Mbogo rescinded his claim to the throne to become a leader for Muslims under the British administration of the Protectorate of Uganda.
His funeral was attended by a large number of people, including members of the Buganda royal family, representatives from the Muslim community, and local and national political figures.
