Ugandan Olympic Athlete Who Went Missing In Japan To Return Home by TolaniLuv: 10:36am On Jul 21, 2021
A member of the Ugandan Olympic national team who was listed as missing in Japan has arrived in Tokyo, accompanied by police.

Julius Ssekitoleko, a 20-year-old weightlifter, disappeared from a hotel in Osaka Prefecture, western Japan, on Friday. He left a note saying that he would not return to his country and wanted to work in Japan, as life in Uganda is difficult.

Ssekitoleko was found in Mie Prefecture, central Japan, on Tuesday.

Sources said he is now staying at a police station in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward. The Ugandan Embassy is located in the ward.

The athlete reportedly expressed his intention to apply for refugee status in Japan.

Officials are discussing how to deal with the case. The Ugandan Embassy says he will return home as early as Wednesday.

They will grant him asylum since he’s not overstayed is visa. Also, the people of Izumisano are already protesting For him to stay in Japan.. only if the embassy of Uganda allow him. He’s still with the police in Tokyo and I am sure a good lawyer will assist him.
