BREAKING: SFC Commandos Abduct Political Analyst Egesa After Radio One Appearance

Political analyst Egesa Ronald has reportedly been abducted by armed men believed to be Special Forces Command (SFC) operatives shortly after appearing on Radio One.

According to reports, Egesa was picked up from the radio station by suspected security personnel who allegedly confronted him over his views on Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s presidential ambitions.

The operatives reportedly challenged him to justify his opposition to Muhoozi becoming Uganda’s next President.

“Come and explain why you believe Muhoozi can’t be President,” the suspected operatives allegedly told him as they took him away.

News of Egesa’s reported disappearance has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding his alleged arrest and the treatment of individuals who publicly express dissenting political views.

He is suspected to have been taken to the alleged Kasenyi detention facility, commonly referred to as the basement, where opposition figure Sam Mugumya is also reportedly being held.

However, his reported transfer to Kasenyi remains unverified. It is also unclear which security agency is responsible for his disappearance, whether he has been formally arrested or what charges, if any, have been preferred against him.

The incident comes amid growing public debate over Muhoozi’s political ambitions and the possibility of his entry into Uganda’s presidential politics, given his position as Chief of Defence Forces and his relationship with President Yoweri Museveni.

The alleged confrontation over Egesa’s political views has also renewed concerns about the boundaries between national security operations and the protection of freedom of expression.

If the reports are confirmed, the incident would raise further questions about the legal procedures governing arrests and detention, including whether the individuals involved have been informed of the reasons for their arrest and granted access to legal representation.

At the time of publication, no official statement had been issued confirming Egesa’s whereabouts, the circumstances of his reported disappearance or the identity of those who allegedly took him away.
