Where were missing Ugandan Olympians found?

A member of the Ugandan delegation who went to Japan to participate in Olympic training suddenly disappeared. According to Japan’s Kansai TV station on July 20, the athlete was found that day and was controlled by the police in Mie Prefecture. .

The missing player is Julius Sekitoreko, a 20-year-old weightlifter. He had lost his qualification and originally planned to return home from Tokyo Narita Airport with his coach. On July 16, he suddenly disappeared from a hotel in Izumisano City, Osaka, leaving notes in the hotel room saying, "Life in Uganda is hard" and "I want to work in Japan."

According to the regulations of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, contestants are not allowed to go out except to and from hotels and training venues. Izumisano City has previously explained the situation to the police. According to police investigators, around 3 pm on the 20th, Seki Toreko was controlled by the police in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture.

Similar situations have occurred with many African athletes before

During the 2012 London Olympics, many athletes from Congo and Cameroon suddenly disappeared. The occupations of these African athletes were basically unknown. It's all boxing and judo. They have the same idea as Julius, they both want to escape from their impoverished motherland, but the method they choose is indeed too extreme.

Now that the Tokyo Olympics is about to open, being able to successfully find Julius before then is a worry for the host Japan.
