“When I heard of the unfortunate death of Isaac Ssenyange alias Mando Zebra, Uganda’s boxer and former captain of the Bombers. I telephoned his wife who narrated to me the events in detail.
Zebra’s wife told me people in police uniform came to pick Zebra but he jumped over the wall and could have met another group who shot him.
At first I thought they were thugs disguising in uniform, but as I continued investigations, I found out that Zebra was killed by security personnel.
This is sad and devastating and I AM VERY SORRY about this. I will keep on this case and will bring every finding to the knowledge of his family and the murderers will be dealt with accordingly. I AM SO SORRY.” said Museveni
Museveni said Zebra was an NRM supporter, and was mobilising for it so well as well as training many youth in the ghetto and giving them hope in their search for meaningful life.
