Byanyima demands that the government free her husband Besigye after his “abduction in Kenya”

Byanyima demands that the government free her husband Besigye after his “abduction in Kenya.”

After 36 members of the Dr. Kizza Besigye political house in Kisumu went through a similar ordeal four months prior, the purported kidnapping in Kenya follows suit.

Kenyan opposition leader Kizza Besigye vanished over the weekend, according to top party leaders and his wife Winnie Byanyima.

However, Ms. Byanyima claims that Dr. Besigye is being detained in a Ugandan military prison.

She has requested that the government “immediately release my husband, Dr. Kizza Besigye, from where he is being held.”

In the capital of Kenya, Nairobi, Dr. Besigye was abducted last Saturday while attending the book launch of Martha Karua, a member of the Kenyan opposition.

“I am now reliably informed that he is in a military jail in Kampala,” Byanyima, the executive director of UNAIDS, declared.

“His attorneys and relatives insist on seeing him. He’s not a fighting man. He is being detained in a military prison; why?

At the time of writing, security was tight-lipped and the administration has not yet responded to the issue.

Their commander was kidnapped, according to Mr. Wafula Oguttu, one of the senior leaders of Dr. Besigye’s private office turned political headquarters on Katonga Road.

The Nile Post was informed by Mr. Oguttu that “it happened on Saturday evening at Riverside Nairobi.”

“Who chose him is still unknown to us. This is kidnapping. “Four days now!”

Dr. Besigye’s absence in Nairobi remains a mystery, after the arrest of FDC Katonga members in Kisumu four months ago and their covert transfer to the domestic administration.

The 36 members of the gang were charged with treason-related offenses and were just recently released on bail.

The purported kidnapping of Dr. Besigye highlights the way the Ugandan government handles the opposition organization, which it regularly claims to have vanquished and destroyed.

However, it is also a scathing indictment of William Ruto’s administration that permits the same gang to enter its land for the purpose of unlawfully arresting them.

On the disclosures on Besigye’s location, neither the Kenyan nor Ugandan governments have yet to respond.

Thousands of refugees found refuge in Kenya during the political unrest that plagued Uganda in the 1970s and 1980s.

President Museveni, for example, planned and initiated a long-term guerilla war against the then-current government using the neighboring nation as a base.

However, 40 years seems like a long time ago, and the Kenya of today is no longer a country where the opposition from Uganda can enter and peacefully eat sukuma wiki or drink chai.
