Uganda Governance Monitor
According to the Daily Monitor, plain-clothed operatives stopped Masaka City Woman MP Justine Nameere's convoy at around 8:30pm, ordered her out of her vehicle and drove her away to an unknown place as she wrapped up a drive through Masaka City after her swearing-in. A supporter said a white van with covered number plates blocked the route; the Southern Regional Police spokesperson said police were not aware of the arrest and were investigating.
Disputed: Accounts of how and where she was taken differ: Daily Monitor says plain-clothed operatives detained her on a road to Liberation Square and took her to an unknown location; The Observer and The Independent say armed soldiers (with police) seized her at Hotel Brovad; ChimpReports places it at Tropic Inn and calls it an arrest by military operatives.
