Uganda's military chief says missing opposition official is 'in my basement'

  • Uganda's military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba said on April 27, 2025, he is holding opposition activist Eddie Mutwe in his basement near Kampala.
  • Eddie Mutwe, the chief bodyguard of opposition leader Bobi Wine, disappeared last weekend after being seized near Kampala by armed individuals, with police denying having him in custody until acknowledged by Kainerugaba.
  • Kainerugaba posted a shirtless photo of Mutwe on social media, threatened violence, and stated he would release Mutwe only on President Museveni's order.
  • The Uganda Human Rights Commission declared Mutwe's detention unlawful since April 26 and ordered his release, while the Uganda Law Society called it part of a campaign to silence dissent.
  • This incident highlights ongoing opposition suppression allegations against Museveni's government amid preparations for his expected re-election in January 2026.
