THANK YOU UGANDA FOR STANDING WITH ME!
Five days of hell but you still stood for the truth, for freedom, for justice and for a better country!
Thank you my President @HEBobiwine and everyone that put together every piece of effort and prayer to realize my freedom!
Thank you!

Let justice prevail. End mob violence.

As Sydney's body was being lowered at 6.10pm; five minutes later, security agents were picking up this murderous "Obed" character.

@KagutaMuseveni Your Excellency, I respectfully urge you to ensure a swift, transparent investigation into Sydney’s death and to hold all those responsible to account. Beyond this case, I appeal for stronger measures to curb the growing trend of mob justice by boda groups,

There’s been an attempt to label me an abuser and an irresponsible father.
On being accused of being an abuser: I normally choose silence, but there are narratives that must be corrected. So allow me say this; I am part of the unreported statistics of men who experience domestic violence from partners with uncontrolled anger issues. But because ‘we are men in a corporate world,’ we stay silent, show up every day. I restrained myself immensely despite all provocations and assaults. But society will, of course, believe the female gender. I have evidence of myself bleeding after being assaulted. All my closest friends, family know this.
On being accused of being an irresponsible father: Despite having only seen my children ONCE in the last ten months, I have never stopped sending money monthly, a figure that wasn’t decided by me, but by my accuser. There is evidence of this: messages saying “thank you” and receipts of the transactions.
I have gone to court, fought, and been granted custody of my children, custody that authorities deliberately failed to enforce (that is a story for another day). Custody was granted on grounds of desertion: the mother had deserted them in a locked apartment with a maid while she was traveling overseas. Since January, I have been denied access to my children, despite numerous requests to seem and third parties intervening.
To men: speak up against violence from your wives when you still have the chance. I suffered in silence for too long. It didn’t help.
This is the last time I am addressing this issue, please give me space to heal.
