Zebra Was Killed By Security Personnel- President Museveni Confirms

Security Personnel Killed Zebra- President Museveni Confirms In Evening Tweet

Posted by: Eninu William in Uganda news January 1, 2021

President Museveni in an evening tweet on the 31st-Dec-2020 came out to reveal that a group of rogue officers from the Uganda Police Force are responsible for the killing of boxer Zebra Ssenyange, moments before their meeting.

In his end of the year speech, the President said he was supposed to meet the late boxer. He said Zebra was a strong NRM supporter but sadly the police killed him before they could meet.

“When I heard of the death of Isaac Ssenyange alias Mando Zebra, a former Bombers Captain, I telephoned his wife. She narrated to me the events. Zebra was meant to meet me, he was an NRM supporter who was doing so much for us…” The President said.

The president further added that after making some inquiries, he found out that indeed, the boxer was killed by members of the Uganda Police Force.

He therefore promised that Zebra’s killers will face the full extent of the law.

“I specifically decided to take on his case and I have so far found out he was killed by security personnel. I am very sorry, so sorry about this, and I will bring my entire findings to the knowledge of the family…” Museveni said.

However, initial Police reports indicated that unidentified men wearing hoodies picked Zebra from his house in St. Francis Zone, Bwaise III Parish. This was at around 1am on 30th December 2020 and shot him just 400 metres away from his house. The president’s tweet therefore seems to go parallel with the police’s report.

I specifically decided to take on his case and I have so far found out he was killed by security personnel. I am very sorry, so sorry about this. I will bring my entire findings to the knowledge of the family. I am very sorry. #M7NewYearAddress.

We’re yet to see how far the police will go in investigating this particular case. Especially considering president’s personal interest in it.
