Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s military chief and son of President Museveni, confirmed the detention of Edward Sebuufu, bodyguard to opposition leader Bobi Wine, who has been missing for five days following his abduction by unidentified armed men. Kainerugaba’s social media posts about Sebuufu have incited public outrage, leading to calls for his release and allegations of torture, with the Uganda Law Society condemning the incident as part of a broader campaign against dissent. The situation raises concerns about the increasing targeting of opposition figures as the 2026 elections approach.
