Mr Harunah Lukyamuzi, a resident of Ndejje – Masitoowa in Makindye Saabagabo Division, Kampala City lives in trauma and distress after allegedly being abducted and tortured by armed police officers in April  this year.

During a press conference at NUP headquarters in Kamwokya on Tuesday, Mr Lukyamuzi claimed that the reason for his abduction and torture was because of his support for the opposition National Unity Platform.


Mr Lukyamuzi, an electrician in Kampala, contends that on April 12 at around 2:30pm, as he was seated at Masitowa trending centre, he received a phone call from Katwe police station inviting him to work on their electricity.


“They told me that they had a fault with their electricity and they wanted me to rectify it. Without fail, I rushed there but upon reaching, they grabbed me and put me on a police truck with four others without telling me anything,” he narrated.
They later released the other four and I remained on the police truck alone. They drove me to my residence, searched my house where they picked my NUP Beret, phone contacts and my passport,” he added.


Mr Lukyamuzi further added when he asked the officers about the crime he had committed, he was told that he has a criminal group he leads, which he denied.
On April 14, Lukyamuzi was taken to Crime Intelligence (CI) headquarters in Kololo.


“At around 2.00am, they came for me and started torturing me while questioning my position in the NUP. When I said that I am just a supporter, and then they said ‘So, you want to remove the president, are you the one who voted him in, let us beat you and show you that we are the ones with powers,” he narrated.


On April 28, Lukyamuzi was taken to Chieftaincy Military Intelligence (CMI) Kireka and later back to CI headquarters on May 10. This was done severally amidst interrogations until June 6.


“Investigations officer at CI called me and asked the reason for my arrest, I replied that I didn’t know and he moved out to consult his colleagues. After some time, he came back and told me that there was a file indicating ‘simple robbery’. When I asked for the file to have a look, he told me that the file was available but I’m among the others in this case. I wondered how I became among others,” he narrated, adding that he was later charged with the case of attempting to burn a police vehicle.
On June 7, Lukyamuzi says was sent to Makindye court which remanded him to Luzira Prison and released after a few days.

Bobiwine in year 3020 a defining topic in African books of history

Bobiwine in year 3020

Reminder;

Believe it or not, by year 3020, “BOBI WINE AND PEOPLE POWER” will be a defining topic in African books of history.

Our sons and daughters will have the privilege of reading about this brilliant, fearless, and patriotic young leader who flipped the script, sacrificed his celebrity lifestyle and took it upon himself to free Uganda from a long Serving dictator, M7 who had misruled Uganda for 40 years.

It will be both an inspiring and heartbreaking sad tale for our grand sons and daughters as they will be subjected to scripts that will feature the high Corruption rate , the Impunity, Unemployment,

nepotism, Military rule, land grabbing, endless Murders of innocent Ugandans, and so much more that existed before Bobi Wine’s leadership.

But as they read between the lines, they will shed tears of joy knowing that Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, aka Bobi Wine, and the entire People Power movement eventually triumphed, transformed Uganda, set strong democratic precedents, and paved the way that leaders after them followed to steer the nation in the right direction, the nation our grand sons and daughters will be enjoying by that time.

By then, the People Power revolution will have swept and dismantled dictatorships across Africa, as African nations that were subjects of dictatorship gained confidence after seeing it done in Uganda. By this time, Uganda is now a developed country, the pearl of Africa again – in its true meaning, in all aspects of life social economic and political, Everything went back to normal, you cant believe we have ever had a dictator called Museveni. The days of dictatorship will feel like a distant, unimaginable past.

Statues of Bobi Wine, clad in full People Power combat gear and the iconic beret, stand tall in major cities. People come take photos, shoot films, and document history—without fear of teargas or repression. A free and democratic Uganda finally a reality.

Bwetukomawo, today is February 3, 2025.

The weight of this change rests on our shoulders, and the truth is no one is going to do it for us. If we want a free Uganda, we must rise as a generation, stand together, and take action.

This fight demands more than just hope, it requires courage, trust, discipline, and an unshakable resolve. The forces of oppression will test us as they have done countless tyms but we must stand firm, knowing that every sacrifice, every effort, brings us closer to victory.

And make no mistake, at the end of it all, we shall win. Uganda will be free, and history will remember this generation as the one that refused to kneel before tyranny.

The time is now. The struggle continues. Together, we shall overcome.

I remain,#JBMuwonge #PeoplePowerOurPower

Sad; NUP abducted Councillor held incommunicado for 25 days now

Published

on

Today marks 25 days since this comrade Muwanga Owen Martin was abducted by the military! He remains under incommunicado detention. He is an elected Councillor in Kyengera, and impassioned activist. Ironically, he was taken away by heavily armed operatives moving in a drone UAL 119V as he returned home after the screening of the Documentary about the gross violations of human rights. Although the police spokesperson admitted that he is in the custody of ‘security’, he has neither been produced in court. His family, lawyers, doctors, and friends have all been denied access to him. Today, our legal team will be asking court to issue a Habeas Corpus order for his release. Very sad state of affairs! #BringBackOurPeople

Bobi Wine outraged by rampant poverty in Oyam

Published

on

President Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert aka Bobi Wine was today outraged by the obscene poverty in Oyam District and Northern Uganda at large.

Bobi had gone to drum up for support for the NUP candidate Daniel Okello who is tussling it out with four other candidates.

In his message, Bobi expressed his disgust at the NRM regime which he says has impoverished the people of Northern Uganda.

Bobi Wine statement;

We spent the day in Oyam North Constituency preaching the message of liberation to our people there! The population in Northern Uganda has been deliberately impoverished and subdued. The levels of poverty are unbelievable. It was very painful seeing old people asking us if we moved with some food because they are starving! The NRM machinery only comes around during elections. It is then that these people get to see the “government” through the long military convoys driving around regime officials! It is during elections that these people are bribed with as little as 500 Uganda shillings and given new empty promises.

Well, we made several stop-overs around the constituency with our comrade Daniel Okello, and yet again reminded these people about the extent of the problem our country faces and everyone’s duty to deliver our nation from this mess. I am grateful to our people for the overwhelming reception, despite all the intimidation and military deployment everywhere! Uganda will be free!
