Uganda Security Expert Handed AFCON Final

Ugandan security expert Dixon ‘James Bond’ Okello will be in charge of security when Senegal plays Algeria in the 2019 African Cup of Nations final on Friday evening.

The no-nonsense security expert who’s known for his keen to detail on matters security has been handed the mandate to coordinate security measures in the stadium before, during and after the match.

His expertise in crowd control was tested last Sunday when Algeria fans tried to cause mayhem when Nigeria scored the equalizer as the two teams faced off in the semis. The security personnel managed to neutralize the rowdy supporters.

On Sunday, he’ll face the Algerian fans again at the 75,000-capacity seater Cairo International Stadium tomorrow.

Senegal qualified for the final after seeing off Tunisia in the semi-final. A Dylan Brown own goal settled the match. Senegal, on the other hand, won 2-1 against Nigeria with Riyad Mahrez hitting a last-minute stunner.
