SC Villa captain David Owori was attacked by thugs near his home and is hospitalized, club Spokesperson Asan Kasingye has confirmed.
The right back is currently admitted at Case Clinic where he is receiving treatment following attacks that happened on Tuesday night according to sources.
First, it was reported that he had been involved in a Boda Boda accident but Kasingye confirmed otherwise.
“Our SC Villa Captain David Owori was attacked last night near his home in Makindye at around 8pm by unknown thugs,” Kasingye partly wrote on his X and confirmed club president Al Hajji Omar Mandela will address the media on the development.
“He’s critically injured and admitted at Case clinic. Our President will be addressing the press about this developing story. Get well soon son. Our prayers.”
Owori is one of the longest serving players at Villa and is in his second spell at the club where he has established himself as one of the best in his position in the entire league.
Villa is due to face Maroons in the Fufa Super 8 return leg on Friday at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo and will miss the skipper with Andrew Okumu expected to take over.
At Kawowo Sports, we put Owori in prayers and hope the perpetrators are brought to book.
