What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) has acknowledged re-arresting the Busiki County MP, Paul Akamba upon being granted bail by the court, citing safety concerns.

Mr Akamba filed an application of violation of his human rights against the attorney general (AG) reasoning that on June 14, 2024, with impunity he was abducted from the court premises.

In an affidavit of Major Paul Ajjala Mukungu filed by the Attorney General (AG) to defend the actions of the state agents, claimed that they were protecting the legislator from being harmed upon being granted bail as there was a plan of retaliation to discredit the government by causing havoc.

“I know that defence intelligence had credible information on the plan to harm the applicant upon his release for his alleged involvement in corruption and that there were plans by sections of the public to hold riots and March to Parliament in protest against corruption,” Maj Mukungu stated.

He added: “I commanded the intelligence that led the operation where Mr Paul Akamba was picked outside the court premises. He was taken to a secure place in Kireka.”
