Japanese police found the missing Ugandan athlete.

The athlete's name is julius Sechitoreko, and he is 20 years old. He is a weightlifter. Arrived in Japan with the delegation on June 19, and then went to Quansano City, Osaka Prefecture for pre-match training. He was disqualified from participating in the Olympic Games because of the decline in the world ranking during training. He was scheduled to leave Japan and return to Uganda on July 20th.

According to local officials, the last time members of the delegation saw Sage Torreko was around 0: 30 on June 16.

Local officials also said that Sechitoleko bought a ticket for the Shinkansen train to Nagoya on the morning of 16. He has a mobile phone on him, but he doesn't have a passport. His passport was taken away by the Ugandan Olympic delegation.

Police sources 19 said that a man suspected of Secchi Toreko was found in the surveillance camera of Nagoya Station, about 200 kilometers away from Quansano City. However, the source did not say the specific date when this photo was taken.

According to the statistics of the Japanese government at the end of last year, Aichi Prefecture, where Nagoya is located, is home to about 150 Ugandans, making it the second largest Ugandan immigrant settlement in Japan.

A source who didn't want to be named said on the 20th that the police found a man believed to be Sechitoreko in Yang City, Mie Prefecture. Shikoku is about 40 kilometers from Nagoya.

Osaka police sources told news agencies that they found a black man with an identity document, claiming that he was Sechitoreko. The police are verifying the identity of the man and communicating with the Ugandan Olympic delegation and the Ugandan Embassy in Tokyo.

The police said that the man was in protective detention and he shed tears from time to time when he was questioned.

People familiar with the matter told Xinhua that before leaving, Sage Torreko left a note saying that he wanted to stay and work in Japan, and asked the delegation to take what he left in the hotel to his wife in Uganda.

The Japanese government has not yet announced the trajectory of Sechitoreko's actions after he lost contact.

The Japanese government has imposed strict epidemic prevention restrictions on members of foreign delegations, only allowing them to walk around the Olympic village and training venues, and prohibiting them from contacting local people. * * * According to the same news agency, the loss of Sechitoreko may aggravate Japanese people's worries about the Olympic epidemic prevention measures.

The Tokyo Olympic Games is scheduled to open on the 23rd. At present, the epidemic situation in Tokyo is severe, with more than 1000 newly confirmed cases in COVID-19 for several days, and infected cases have also appeared in the Olympic Village.
