Bobi Wine says head of NUP security abducted

Opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine Thursday night announced that one of his lead bodyguards had been “abducted by security officials with his whereabouts unknown.”

“Just learnt of the violent abduction this evening of comrade Achileo Kivumbi, the head of security at the National Unity Party (NUP) headquarters,” Bobi Wine said.

According to him, several heavily armed men, moving in a Noah (car) Reg. No. UAP 164P trailed Kivumbi and manhandled him as he approached his home in central Uganda.

He added that Kivumbi was beaten by the armed men before they dragged him into a waiting vehicle, swiftly driving away.

“We do not know what state he is in right now given what onlookers describe as an extremely violent abduction. The criminal regime continues to violate every human right…,” Ssentamu wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
