A certain Phillip Rwakibibi, who is a loader at Trinity Bus Terminal in the Ugandan capital, was on Tuesday evening picked by armed men who described themselves as security officers.
An eyewitness told ChimpReports that Rwakibibi, who has lived in Uganda for the last four years, tried to put up resistance to no avail as he was overwhelmed by those men carrying pistols.
An official at the bus terminal who preferred anonymity so as to speak freely expressed his shock at seeing men jumping out of a Rav 4 brand car and ordering Phillip to give in.
“The men said they were from security and pulled out pistols; threatening to shoot Phillip. He had to surrender. They led him to their car and drove off.” he said.
Rwakibibi’s wife, Jeanette, who is expecting to give birth to twins, confirmed that her husband was taken by security officers.
“He received a call from a customer and left me at the hospital in Kabowa where I am expecting to give birth to twins,” Jeannette told ChimpReports on Friday morning.
“I was later told that people from security took him. I don’t know where he is and I am so traumatized,” she added.
She said efforts by the family to locate Rwakibibi at different police stations in the capital were yet to bear fruit.
A case of a missing person has since been recorded at Old Kampala Police Station to facilitate investigations into the incident.
When questioned on the issue, Uganda’s Defence Spokesperson Brig Richard Karemire said he had “no idea” about the matter.
As for the Chief of Military Intelligence Brig Abel Kandiho, he said he was “out of the country”.
The Rwandan High Commissioner to Uganda Rtd Maj Gen Frank Mugambage on July 5 described as “unjustified” the arrest of her citizens in Uganda but emphasised that Kigali was committed to strengthening bilateral ties with Kampala.
