They abducted Dr. Kizza Besigye, a prominent Ugandan opposition leader, from Nairobi, Kenya, where he had attended a book launch. Winnie Byanyima, his wife, has reported his detention in a military jail in Kampala, Uganda.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of political figures in East Africa, with Byanyima demanding his immediate release.
Kenya has become a foreign intelligence agency playground. Kidnappings of Turkish nationals have occurred, and Besigye is the latest victim.
His wife, Winnie Byanyima, stated, “I request the government of Uganda to release my husband, Dr. Kizza Besigye, from his current detention immediately.”
“Last Saturday, while he was in Nairobi for Hon. Martha Karua’s book launch, they kidnapped him.” He is currently in a military jail in Kampala, according to reliable sources.
“We, along with his family and lawyers, insist on seeing him. He is not a soldier. Why is he in a military jail?”
After his abduction in Nairobi, a military jail housed Dr. Kizza Besigye, a civilian. This was a violation of his rights, according to human rights activists.
Kizza Besigye, the Ugandan opposition leader, allegedly went missing in Nairobi while attending Martha Karua’s book launch.
