Ludigo was a Mutoro, born in Musazi village in Myeri of Bufonjo locality in Mwenge County of Toro. His father was Bamwesekera and his mother Klyote.

The Baganda raiders captured him and took him to King Muteesa I’s palace. At the palace Ludigo was in charge of the gardens where the pages were supposed to work. The name Ludigo was a nickname because he resembled a chief of Bunyoro called Ludigo.

At the palace Ludigo, was surprised and very much impressed by the good behaviour of the catholic pages. Thus he having the Catholic Instructions under Joseph Mukasa who also introduced him to the Catholic Missionaries for further instructions.

When the missionaries fled to Tanganyika in1882, Ludigo went to Kaggwa’s home that turned into a new mission instead of Lubya. On finding out that the number of converts was growing every day and the people had to eat, Ludigo went to the kitchen to help Kaggwa’s wife and other volunteers. He left the instructions to Andrew Kaggwa for most of the time.

Ludigo was baptised very soon on Monday night November 16, 1885 and got the name Adolphus. This was the day that followed the Killing of their master Joseph Mukasa.

Ludigo anticipated his arrest and death, so he was very happy and put on his best as if he was preparing for a party. Over this beautiful tunic he wore his beautiful antelope skin which was for special occasions. He was arrested together with other Christians on Wednesday morning and taken to Namugongo where he was burnt to death on Ascension Day, Thursday June 3^rd, 1886, at the age of twenty four.

He is the patron of farmers and herdsmen.
