    Man United fan k!lled by Arsenal supporter finally buried

    The funeral of 36-year-old man Benjamin Ndyamuhaki, a Manchester United fan, took place on Wednesday, October 30, at Kabungo Cell, Katenga Parish, Kaharo Sub County, Kabale District.

    Ndyamuhaki, reportedly the victim of a fatal altercation with an Arsenal fan, was mourned by family and friends who gathered to bid farewell to the fifth of eleven siblings.

    The incident occurred on Sunday, October 27, at Kyobugombe Trading Center after a heated exchange in a video room.

    The altercation reportedly erupted following a 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool in an English Premier League match.

    According to eyewitnesses, tensions flared when Liverpool scored a late equalizer, prompting Ndyamuhaki to celebrate.

    His celebration, which included throwing popcorn, allegedly provoked Arsenal supporter Onan Byampangi, who subsequently struck Ndyamuhaki with a stick, resulting in severe injuries.

    “I was informed on Monday morning that two men fought each other on Sunday evening and one was taken to Bukinda Health Center before being transferred to Rugarama where he died. We are actively searching for the suspect, who was last seen in Ntungamo,” said Mr. Edmond Tumwesigye, Chairman of LCIII of Kaharo Sub County, while addressing mourners.

    At the funeral, Mr. Kenneth Atukwase, Ndyamuhaki’s elder brother, remembered him as a beloved and diligent family member.

    Our brother loved us very much and worked hard for our family. We are heartbroken by his untimely passing. May he rest in peace,” he shared.

    Another family member, Mr. Barnard Tumuhimbise, urged the family to avoid retaliation, saying, “Our son did nothing to deserve this; God has already decided about his life. Children, do not seek revenge, for it is God who will take it on our behalf.”

    Mr. Dan Kasaku, chairman of the Rukiga Taxi Drivers Association, highlighted Ndyamuhaki’s reputation as a “humble, trustworthy and hardworking” individual.

    “Benyi was known for his cooperation, truthfulness, and humility. We have truly lost a good man,” he expressed.

    BURIAL: Vice President Osinbajo, others laud Alao Akala

    Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Governor of Ogun State- Senator Ibikunle Amosun, former Senate President- Senator Ken Nnamani, Senator Fatai Buhari, Senator Ayoade Adeseun, and former House Leader, Mulikat Akande-Adeola on Friday paid tribute to the late former Oyo State governor, Adebayo Alao Akala, who was buried in Ogbomoso area of Oyo State.

    Other dignitaries at the event include the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Sunday Dare, Governors Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (Kwara), and Prince Dapo Abiodun (Ogun)- who were both represented by their Deputy Governors, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu- who was represented by his Commissioner for Information.

    Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala, a former governor of Oyo state and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was born on the 3rd of June 1950, into the family of Opadoyin Alaat Ogbomoso in the Ogbomoso North Local Government Area of Oyo state.

    During the burial service held at the Beulah Baptist Conference Centre, Ogbomoso, some shops were locked in honour of the ex-governor.

    Akala’s obituary posters and billboards flooded streets in the town with various inscription such as “the legend, sleep well”, “you have written your name in gold”, and “Adieu, the tiger”, among others.

    Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo hailed the late governor for being a humane and simple man, who played politics with an open mind.

    Osinbajo said: “Everywhere Alao-Akala went in his days as governor, you would hear the chant of ‘Oyato.’ Of course, he really did many things differently in office.

    “He significantly improved the IGR of the state from a paltry N300 million to N1 billion in eight months and put in place a very good security architecture.

    “Alao-Akala practically demonstrated what is possible when you have creativity and compassion. Since his transition in January, I have read several glowing tributes to his memory and the common refrain running through all of those tributes has been the attestation to his uncommon generosity.

    “He was indeed a simple and humane man, who practised politics with an open mind. “Many testified that his resources were available to all and his home was there for anyone to come for help.”

    Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, also hailed the late former governor as a great man, who recognized and lived his life in accordance with the Biblical teaching that there is a time and a season for everything under the sun.

    Makinde, who declared that the state government would immortalize the late former governor, said a committee headed by his Chief of Staff, Hon. Segun Ogunwuyi, had been put in place to work on how best to honour the late Chief Alao-Akala.

    The governor called for suggestions from well-meaning residents of the state.

    A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the governor stated these at the Beulah Baptist Conference Centre, Ogbomoso, venue of the burial service for the late former governor.

    He praised the former governor for putting aside party differences to work for the progress of the state when he (Makinde) informed him of a plan to flag off the Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin road.

    He said: “In Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, the Bible says ‘there is time for everything under the sun.’ In the last conversation I had with Governor Alao-Akala, I called to inform them that I would like him to be the one to flag off the Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin Road project and he said to me, ‘Seyi, just call to give 48 hours notice and I would be there.’

    “He knew there was a time to tear down and a time to rebuild together. The former governor recognized the fact that that particular time was not the time for us to project our political differences but a time to come together in the interest of Oyo State.”

    The governor maintained that apart from supporting the family of the governor, he would also redeem whatever pledge Alao-Akala made to students of the Ogbomoso Baptist Conference College.

    “As for the children who came with a request, I know how you feel and I will champion the cause to redeem whatever it is the late Governor Alao-Akala has promised them.

    “Finally, I have been going around to determine how we can honour our great man from Oyo State. And we have set up a committee headed by the Chief of Staff. If you also have any advice in this regard, let us know and, within the shortest period of time, the government of Oyo State will ensure that he is adequately honoured.

    “On that note, I want to say farewell to a great man, my brother, my mentor and a great son of Ogbomosoland,” Makinde added.
