According to the acting Katonga region police spokesperson, Superintendent of Police Karim Majid, Sobi was killed by a mob during a violent confrontation on land belonging to one Kalisa in Maddu, Gomba district.
The incident involved two groups, one armed with sticks, pangas, and spears, who attacked another group claiming ownership of the land. Sobi was among the casualties of the clash.
