Museveni’s Son Behind TWO Kenyans’ Detention In Uganda – Bobi Wine
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of Defence Forces of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, has been charged with organizing the detention of two Kenyan activists in Uganda.
Following the release of human rights advocates Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine accused Muhoozi of keeping the Kenyans for 38 days.
Wine, citing a conversation with the two activists, reported that they were supposedly detained at Kasenyi military barracks and questioned about their reasons for traveling to Uganda.
The two campaigners were released on Friday night and handed over to Kenyan officials at the Busia border crossing.
Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’Oei confirmed the release, saying that the two had been turned over to Kenya’s High Commissioner in Uganda.
Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs CS Musalia Mudavadi stated that their release was the result of long-term diplomatic efforts.

Silas Kamanda, a colonel in the UPDF, revealed in court records filed on October 21 that the military investigated all of its detention facilities for the two Kenyans but did not find them.
Kamanda was responding to a habeas corpus court order in which the UPDF had been ordered to produce the two Kenyans, dead or alive, within seven days.
Their prolonged disappearance, allegedly at the hands of security forces, sparked diplomatic tensions amid widespread calls for their release by lobby and civil society groups across the region.
