Today, four of the goons responsible for what happened to my brother @GongodyoSidney, a one Obed Mugwisa, Elly Mundoni, Joseph Owino, and Henry Kabugo were formally charged with murder at the City Hall Magistrate’s Court in Kampala and stood before the courts. Eleven people are now in custody.
I sat with that number for a while before writing this. It does not bring Sydney back. It does not undo what was done to him on that road in Bukoto, but it tells me something I needed to hear: this is not going to be swept under the carpet. The people who did this will have to answer for it in a court of law, in front of all of us.
To the @PoliceUg , thank you, Genuinely. The work that went into tracking down each of these goons, one by one, has been relentless and it shows, and to the boda boda riders and leaders who helped identify and bring in some of these culprits, you did something that took courage. You looked at what your own colleagues did and said no, that is not who we are. We will not forget that.
To everyone who has been pushing for justice, raising your voices, sharing the story, standing with the family, and refusing to let this fade, thank you. Your solidarity and pressure are making a real difference.
But we are not done. There are others who were there that afternoon and are still walking around as if nothing happened.
To you, wherever you are: go to the nearest Police station and hand yourselves in effective immediately. The net is closing, every hour you delay only makes the end more certain by the way. You can run, hide, change your name, your number and your routine,..it will not matter.
Sydney’s blood is hunting you, the evidence is mounting, and we are not stopping until every single one of you is exactly where you belong!.

Look at that smile. That’s Sydney. Gone too soon, taken by monsters. He died begging for help. We can’t let his scream be the end.
Recognize. Report. #JusticeForSydney
Pirates don’t leave a man behind. #PublicTrialDemanded

If we had probably been there with you in the time you needed us the most , you would still be here with us …
We are sorry you went through that alone and in pain …
Sid , Sid , Syd , Sydo , Squidy…
We are sorry but keep fighting in Glory our champ 🙏🏿🙏🏿…
What a cruel world! To imagine that such a talent - a star who proudly flew our national flag with the Uganda Rugby Cranes - fell at the hands of a mob is as alarming as it is devastating. We all hope that there will be justice for this heinous crime. Deepest condolences to his family, the Rugby fraternity, and every fan who cheered him on. May the almighty grant infinite strength to his loved ones during this dark time.
KIND REQUEST🙏🏾
Whoever has any video frames of the rugby guy being beaten, kindly share them via the email in my bio or my DMs. I am trying to analyze them frame by frame and maybe try to identify some faces!
Kindly retweet for awareness!
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
