Police in Kiboga District arrested 52 people at Nile Gardens in Kiboga Town Council during what the Wamala Region police spokesperson, SSP Lameck Kigozi, described as an unauthorised night-time political meeting in Kiboga West Constituency. Police said the gathering was reportedly convened by a mobiliser for independent parliamentary candidate Kibuuka Mohammood, who had not arrived when security cordoned off the venue; some of those arrested told police they had been called to a briefing by their candidate.
Official claim: These are the figures given by Uganda Police Force (SSP Lameck Kigozi, Wamala Region police spokesperson); they could not be checked independently.
