We have buried @GongodyoSidney Now we demand justice.
Some of his killers are still out there. The hooligans who set upon my brother on 5th June 2026 and took his life in a cowardly mob attack are walking free. That ends now.
We are not asking for revenge. We are asking for the LAW to do its job. In public. In open court. Where all of Uganda can watch.
We have launched a petition demanding a public mobile court trial at the very scene of the crime for every single person involved in Sydney's murder. Sign it. Share it. Make noise.

To @UgandaPolice arrest all the perpetrators. To @DPP_Uganda prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law and seek the maximum penalty. To @Educ_SportsUg@NCSUganda@UgandaRugby your voices are needed RIGHT NOW!
Do not call it mob justice. There is no justice in what they did. Calling it justice is an insult to the word. This was MURDER. Treat it as such.
Sydney was a son, a father, a teammate, a rugby star and a future Captain of this Nation. He deserved to live. His family deserves justice. Uganda deserves better.
Sign. Share. Do not let this fade. 🙏🏾

On 5th June 2026, my young brother, tribesman and teammate @GongodyoSidney at @piratesrugbyUG was murdered. Not killed in an accident or lost to illness but MURDERED by a mob in a cowardly, senseless, extra-judicial attack. I am furious and deeply, deeply disappointed in my fellow Ugandans.
Let us be clear about what happened. A group of goons and hooligans took it upon themselves to end an innocent human life with complete impunity. Do NOT call it mob justice, as calling it justice is to justify it! There is NO justice in what they did. No one, absolutely NO ONE, has the power or the right to take the life of another. LIFE is SACRED. What happened to Sydney was an act of TERRORISM.
Sydney was a young man with a promising future ahead of him. He had sights on one day Captaining his mighty club and the Nation. He was also a father to a young son whom he hoped to raise but all of that was stolen from him in the most brutal and senseless way. This was not just an attack on Sydney Gongodyo the individual, it was and still is an attack on Rugby, an attack on SPORT and every single one of us in this fraternity.
To his young family, I am so sorry. The pain you carry is one no family should ever have to bear. The loss of Sydney leaves an indelible mark, a wound that words cannot heal. He did not deserve this. He deserved to live, to play, to lead and become everything he was destined to be.
I therefore call upon @Educ_SportsUg@NCSUganda1@UgandaRugby and the entire Sports fraternity of Uganda to stand up and DEMAND JUSTICE for Sydney Gongodyo. This was an illegal killing carried out with the kind of impunity this Government came into Power to END so we cannot be SILENT.
Extra-judicial killings like this one do not just take a life, they take us back as a Country to some of our darkest times in history. Every Ugandan must take this personally because a mob has no criteria, so it could have been any of us and it can still be any of us.
The murderers must be identified, paraded publicly and have their case heard in an open mobile court, the same way Justice was delivered for the innocent Children who were brutally murdered by a one Okello Christopher Onyum in Ggaba. Let such elements be an example. Let it be known across Uganda that Acts of Terror disguised as Mob Action SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED. NOT NOW, NOT EVER!
This is not only about Sydney, this is for every Ugandan who has ever suffered at the hands of a mob, every family torn apart by extra-judicial violence and every life cut short before its TIME. We owe it to all of them to make sure Sydney's death is not in vain.
