Navio was spotted at the BK Arena during the third-place game between Petro De Luanda and Stade Malien.

His presence elicited excitement at the venue as he enjoyed VIP treatment rubbing shoulders with multi-award-winning actor Whitaker of the ‘Last King of Scotland’ fame in Uganda.

The American star was also briefly in Uganda earlier this week.

He is the CEO of Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative (WPDI), a non-profit organization that operates in Northern Uganda and Karamoja in community-based activities and peace projects.

Other A-listers in Kigali include National Basketball Association legends and executives.
