NUP Deputy President for Buganda Muwanga Kivumbi was stopped at a roadblock in Mpigi District while travelling from Butambala and taken to an unknown destination, a day after being granted bail. NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya described it as an abduction, and eyewitnesses told ChimpReports that heavily armed men in military attire forced him from his vehicle into an unmarked van. Police and other security agencies had not commented or disclosed his whereabouts at the time of publication.
