“Kenya Aided Our Detention In Uganda!” – Activist Bob Njagi
Bob Njagi, an activist, now says that his abduction in Uganda with Nicholas Oyoo was organized by the Kenyan and Ugandan governments.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Njagi claimed that Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda work together to silence alternative voices against the prevailing regimes.
“The three governments are collaborating between (Yoweri) Museveni, our president (William) Ruto and Samia Suluhu,” he claimed.
“Our arrest was coordinated between the Kenyan government, they knew we were crossing over into Tanzania, they raised the alarm there and those guys did the dirty job for them.”
Njagi further claimed that their abduction was carried out by a “militia” led by Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces of the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
“It is the son Muhoozi who is undertaking these crimes against humanity,” he claimed.
This is not just a story, it is a profound grief.

“They are being undertaken at special forces command centre in Sera Kasenyi which is the training centre for the presidential security team and they call themselves next to none because they don’t take command from the Judiciary or, Executive. This is a militia operating under General Muhoozi.”
He stated that he left over 150 people in jail and that they are being held without going through the court procedure.
He insists that these people have no cases and that the majority of them are detained for political purposes.
The activists had been missing in Uganda for 38 days and alleged they were being kept incommunicado by the country’s military special forces.
Speaking at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on November 8, after coming from Kisumu, the physically weak campaigners claimed they were tortured and starved while detained at the Kasenyi Military Barracks in Entebbe.

“We were in military detention by the special forces. I didn’t eat for 14 days. We were tortured,” said Bob Njagi, struggling to hold back tears.
The two, who had joined National Unity Platform presidential candidate Bobi Wine’s campaign route, were allegedly forced into a car and their phones turned off.
Bobi Wine has criticized President Yoweri Museveni’s regime for promoting impunity and breaching human rights.
The NUP leader noted that the regime has been using abductions as a tool for silencing its critics and denies having them in custody.
