Family of 'kidnapped' Imam asks authorities for clarity

The family of Imam Diriisa Mawanda, who was allegedly kidnapped by suspected security operatives, has appealed to the government to produce him, whether dead or alive.

Imam Mawanda was reportedly abducted on July 12, 2024, around 7 PM while he was at Katwe Masjid Hidayah Mosque in Binikiriro Village, Katwe Sub County, Sembabule District, preparing to lead prayers.

His wife, Ms Amina Kalungi, learned of her husband’s kidnapping from her father-in-law.

“My father-in-law told me that my husband was arrested over suspicious phone calls he was receiving. Upon hearing this terrible news, I lost consciousness. I am heavily pregnant and have no one to care for me and my children. I ask the authorities to produce my husband, whether he is dead or alive,” Ms Kalungi said during an interview on Thursday.
