Ugandan Boxers Go Missing After Commonwealth Games

Police Scotland said enquiries are ongoing as four Uganda boxers and one Pakistan boxer failed to board return flights after the Games.

  • Four members of Uganda's boxing team—Angel Katushabe, Nuhu Batte, Ibrahim Khemis, and Emily Nakalema—went missing in Scotland after the 2026 Commonwealth Games ended on July 2, with their whereabouts currently unknown.
  • One missing Ugandan boxer said they intend to seek asylum and continue their boxing careers in Scotland, following a pattern of Ugandan athletes disappearing after past Commonwealth Games events.
  • Similar disappearances occurred after the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia and the Glasgow 2014 Games, where Ugandan rugby players went missing and later claimed asylum in the UK.
  • A Pakistani boxer named Qudrat Ullah also went missing in Glasgow before his team’s departure, despite the team manager holding his passport and return ticket.
