Police in Lira District in Northern Uganda have detained the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) coordinator for Lango Sub-region and two other activists over holding an anti-corruption protest.
Moses Mawa was intercepted alongside Denis Obic Awio and another unidentified activist as they attempted to march from Centenary Bank via Obote Avenue while chanting anti-corruption slogans.
The placards and Uganda flag they were carrying were confiscated before they were bundled onto a waiting police truck.
North Kyoga Regional Police Spokesperson SP Jimmy Patrick Okema said police had warned against the demo but the protestors did not take heed.
