This week it was breaking news that Paddy Sserunjogi aka “Sobi” the gangster and leader of the “Kifeesi” gang died over a land wrangle in Gombe district. Sobi has been the man of the hour and for a reason.
Sobi after being captured by the authorities in 2012 was recruited to become an Intelligence Operative under the Operations Unit of the Uganda Police Force. That was done by then IGP Kale Kayihura.
In addition to that there is also revealed that Sobi also have worked for the CMI and ISO. Together with his group and that’s why he served the nations with fierce force. We don’t know to what extent he acted or what his total score of brutality. This is only a chosen few knows and they are also the ones who will not talk about what he really did.
Nevertheless, the likes of Sobi is serving the interests of the state. The state and the authorities needs their butchers, killers and willing men to torture innocent civilians. Sobi and his merry men are following orders and directly participating in misuse of power. They where kept in peace and allowed to operate, because he does the dirty deeds the state needs someone to do.
That Sobi did some thieving and looting on the past time didn’t matter. For the state he was an asset and he acted on their behalf. Whatever evil he did behind closed doors or without warrants was just fine.
Sobi did the dirty work of the authorities. He served for a purpose and that’s was his whole value to society. He acted on their behalf and wasn’t concerned with the lives that he touched. As an operative of the state. Now there will be conspiracies and everyone else will claim different things.
However, the main reality is one gang leader or gangster is now gone. A man who used violence and brutality to get ahead. He was promoted and got titles for doing so. As a gangster and a officer he was untouchable. A man of many hats and someone who could get away with murder. That’s who he is and we saw it for years.
The Kifeesi gang is well known and its are reason why it got away with it. That’s for one reason and they were useful. Now they have taken down the leader and the head of it. Just like they got rid of Kiatta of Boda Boda 2010. He got into legal jeopardy and isn’t anyone anymore. However, Sobi isn’t alive or breathing. His totally gone and that’s most be for another reason.
We will never know the real reason for his death. The state will announce one reason and claim, but there will never be an honest investigation into the murder. There will be reports and hearsay, but nothing verified. While his remains are buried a long time ago. He will become a cold-case and only after the regime is over. Then there is hope that someone will find the truth behind his end.
Sobi deserves justice like any man, even a man of injustice and impunity. His victims deserves justice and everyone he touched should get the same. All the victims of Sobi should have their day, but we know that won’t happen either.
Sobi doesn’t deserve credit or accolades. He was at one point Teflon and now it was his time to get touched. Death is brutal and it’s the final end. That’s an ending he served others and now someone did the same to him. Most likely he wasn’t prepared or mentally there. He never thought they would this to him. They couldn’t do this, because his services was needed by the state. However, we will see the state kills its own and they will never offer anyone mercy. That’s why Sobi is now gone.
People’s will not cherish his memory and neither reflect kindly on his legacy. He was a henchman and a gangster. Those aren’t beloved, but are feared. Death does not absolve him of his misdeeds or sins. These now have to be answered to by God and he will decide his fate now. Peace.
