Please tell me everyone who was at the scene, including those shouting and inciting the violence, has been arrested. We will not keep quiet about this until every person involved is brought to justice and held accountable.💔 @PoliceUg
On record, Sydney bought three VIP tables at the recent Kadodi Karnival to celebrate his culture. Each VIP table was costed at 200k by the way.
And there is an imbecile out there still asking whether Sydney didn’t steal that bag.
Really? How daft can a human be?
To @PoliceUg
We respectfully call upon you to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice for Sydney Gongodyo.
The images and videos that have emerged have shocked and traumatized many Ugandans. A wife has lost her husband. A child has lost his father. A mother has lost her son. Friends, teammates, and an entire rugby community are mourning.
We ask that every individual involved in this tragic incident be identified, investigated, and held accountable in accordance with the law. Let justice reach every person who participated in this act, regardless of who they are.
This is bigger than one family. It is about protecting the value of human life and sending a clear message that mob violence has no place in our society.
May Sydney’s family find comfort, and may justice be served without fear or favor.
#JusticeForSydneyGongodyo 🕊️
We @alpine_ug are actively tracing him.
Below is his face. He is identified as Mugwisa Obed of Namuli Zone, a boda boda rider around Froebel Kindergarten-Ntinda Road.
Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact @PoliceUg or @alpine_ug
R.I.P Sidney. I became a rugby fan because of Sidney. I followed the Pirates and Rugby Cranes because of him. My son loved everyone, and everyone loved him. Sidney's mother💙🕊️🏉 #NBSportUpdates
I propose launching the ‘#SydneyFund’, an initiative dedicated to promoting safety on Kampala’s streets and sensitizing boda boda riders on the grave dangers of mob justice as we wait for authorities to regulate the industry. I’m personally committing UGX 3M to whoever is ready to take this idea forward and drive real change. This feels like a strong, practical project that the new #UOX leadership could proudly champion. @KwikirizaNova
@HEBobiwine If your friend/relative rides this boda UMA 452G* ...YETWALE KU POLICE MANGU DALA. Watch the videos and help identify anyone who was there 🙏🙏 what they did can happen to any of us or our friends.
While you were celebrating your birthday, Ugandan’s have been mourning the death of a Ugandan rugby player who was beaten to death by a mob. There hasn’t been any communication from Uganda Media centre which is “the one stop centre for all government communications”, maybe you were too busy in your celebrations to coordinate the communication.
The centre has been communicating regularly recently, shall we get the same urgency on Sydney’s death?
Perhaps a one liner of govt, giving accountability or apologizing to the nation for failure on its part to protect this young life.
Many Bodas operate like the law here in Uganda is a suggestion to them, but I’ve looked into the future & I can tell you they are about to meet their equal in mad men.
By the time we are called to their aid, they’ll have learnt discipline, order and laws are worth their weight
May Whoever threw a brick never have peace in this life. May they meet the worst in everything they do. Badluck shall follow them and their children for eternity. Rip Champ.
Also, the @PoliceUg needs to arrest the lady whose bag was stolen. She is complicit in this murder by failing to defend Sydney having seen the their running away on another Boda.
But the poor old woman holding a stone to beat someone like that made me feel that we have lost the moral code. Let the murderers be tried publicly and executed publicly.
Some losses don't stay on the scoreboard. They stay in our hearts. ❤️📌
No final whistle can erase the impact you've had on those around you. Your legacy lives on in every player you inspired and every life you touched.❤️😢
Rest easy, warrior. 💔🕊️
