Eperu passed away at around 8:30 pm on Sunday at LifeLink Hospital in Namugongo where she had been rushed for medical attention.

Former FDC president Dr Kiiza Besigye took to X to mourn Eperu’s passing. “Just been given the very sad news of the passing of our veteran political activist Sarah Eperu- devastating!” he said.

Eperu's son Emmanuel Eperu Magala, said they rushed her to the hospital at around 8:00 pm after she complained of general body weakness.

"We asked her what was paining her and she said it was just general body weakness. We gave her glucose and then decided to rush her to hospital but unfortunately, she passed away," Magala said.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of our comrade and dedicated member of the party Hon. Sarah Eperu.

Hon. Eperu served the party in various positions as the former Spokesperson of the Women's League and, until her passing, as the Chairperson of the Kapir County Constituency Branch in Ngora District,” the party said on X.
