CDF Gen Muhoozi gives Kyagulanyi 48 hours to surrender to police

Civic Space & Media Freedom Verified Uganda (national) 19 Jan 2026 Severity: 3/5

Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on X that Robert Kyagulanyi had 48 hours to surrender to the Uganda Police Force, or he would be treated as an "outlaw/rebel". The Daily Monitor notes no law was cited; in further posts the same day Gen Muhoozi referred to NUP supporters as "terrorists" and said some had been killed.

A national event, not tied to one district.
