Police arrest 30 people in Kampala accused of plotting to disrupt presidential nominations

Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said joint security teams arrested 30 people in Kawempe, Makindye and Mutungo, accusing them of planning to disrupt presidential nominations at Kyambogo. Police said the group, which they called 'Magic-17', was found with tyres, fuel, bottles and machetes, and that preliminary investigations suggested most were NUP supporters, though their affiliation was still under investigation.
