Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The ongoing feud between Sulaiman Mutyaba and Fufa took an ugly turn on Friday with ex-Uganda Cranes forward being beaten and then jailed for holding an illegal assembly.<\/p>\n

Mutyaba has lately been in the news seeking the resignation of Fufa President Eng. Moses Magogo over unpaid players\u2019 dues.<\/p>\n

He chose to hold a peaceful demonstration on Friday at the federation offices in Mengo, a Kampala suburb while holding a placard that bore the phrase \u201cMagogo Must Resign.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he sat on the ground with a placard, one of the security guards hired by Fufa from a private security firm beat him with a stick repeatedly leaving significant bruises on his body.<\/p>\n

The former Vipers, Express, KCCA, TP Mazembe (DR Congo) and El Merriekh (Sudan) winger was then arrested by police and driven to Old Kampala Police Station.<\/p>\n

There, Mutyaba, who retired in mid-2020, was denied police bond and spent the night in the coolers. A source says he will be charged with \u201cholding an illegal assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the most undesirable turn of events in a fight that has cast Mutyaba into the light more than perhaps his time on the pitch did as he is now an advocate for improved players\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n

Over the past fortnight, he has come out loudly on his personal social media handles accusing Fufa and Magogo in particular of \u201ceating players\u2019 money.\u201d<\/p>\n

This entails allowances and bonuses accrued from participation in the Africa Nations Championship and the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.<\/p>\n

In addition, Mutyaba questions the payment of a total of Shs50m monthly by the government to national team players which was promised by President Yoweri Museveni four years ago.<\/p>\n

Fufa has not given a clear explanation on how much players are owed and when this money will be paid. However, Magogo explained that this is not new as \u201cevery organisation has debts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without going into the specifics of the accusations, Magogo did respond this week accusing players of playing \u201cshitty football\u201d and therefore undeserving of payment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did they play in Chan? When you demand money, what have you put on the table? They went there and played shitty football,\u201d he said at a media event where he launched his bid for a third term as Fufa president.<\/p>\n

The process that will bring 88 delegates to the elective assembly in August starts on Saturday with the election of District Football Associations (DFA) members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
