Uganda police are investigating the circumstances under which a South Sudanese “tycoon”, popular for flaunting dollars on social media, went missing last Wednesday.

Kampala police spokesman Luke Owoyesigyire told the Daily Monitor that the family of Mr Lual Malong Yor Jr filed a report at Kabalagala Police Station on Wednesday saying they had not heard from him since November 14.
