Yesterday, I had the honour of visiting His Highness Jude Mike Mudoma, Umukuuka III wa Bugisu at his residence.
I want to first thank him from the bottom of my heart for honouring @GongodyoSidney with his presence at the burial. For the Cultural Leader of our People to come and stand with the family of a fallen son of the soil speaks volumes. It meant everything to Sydney's family and to all of us.
But I also want to share something that gave me great Hope. His Highness informed me that he had already written to the relevant authorities formally demanding Justice for Sydney and calling for a PUBLIC TRIAL of his killers. The Umukuuka has spoken. The voice of Masaba land has been raised.
His Highness has pledged since his installation that his cardinal role is to ensure Peace and Unity for the Bamasaba people and today he is living those words.
The gruesome murder of Sydney Gongodyo Gyabi is an attack on every son and daughter of this land and our Cultural leader has made clear that the Bamasaba will not be silent.
We have the Cultural Institution standing with us. We have a King who has put his voice on the line for one of his own people. Now it is time for the Government, the Police and the DPP to match that energy.
The Umukuuka has written, Uganda has spoken. Now act!

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.
