Muhoozi To Kill Besigye’s Closest Aide Sam Mugumya!! Fresh Videos Of Him On Death Bed In Basement Leak

The whereabouts of missing opposition activist Sam Mugumya have taken a dramatic turn after Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba publicly claimed that he was holding him and threatened to execute him.

The admission, made on Gen Muhoozi’s X account, came days after a video attributed to former UPDF intelligence officer Lt Herbert Matanda Mabonga circulated showing a man identified by opposition figures and activists as Mugumya apparently struggling to walk.

“Yes, I have Sam Mugumya. He is fine. But I will execute him soon,” Gen Muhoozi posted on X on Friday.

In a subsequent post, the CDF appeared to address public concern over footage showing Mugumya’s physical condition, writing: “People are feeling sorry for Mugumya’s legs? I’m going to shoot him to death.”

The statements immediately triggered a storm of condemnation, with opposition politicians, human-rights defenders, lawyers and ordinary Ugandans demanding that Mugumya be produced before court, granted access to his family and lawyers and protected from harm.

The remarks have also reopened questions surrounding the whereabouts of Mugumya, who disappeared after reportedly being picked up by armed men in Mbarara on August 26, 2025.

‘He is under personal custody’

National Unity Platform president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, described Muhoozi’s statement as confirmation of what the opposition has alleged for more than a year.

“Museveni’s criminal son confirms what we all know: that our brother, Sam Mugumya, who has been missing for over a year is under his personal custody,” Kyagulanyi said in a post.

He also criticised earlier efforts by the UPDF to dismiss allegations made by Mabonga.

“This after his spokesman, Chris Magezi tried to whitewash and cover up these crimes by trying to dismiss Lt. Mabonga Herbert’s revelations as mere fabrications,” Kyagulanyi said.

He accused the CDF of publicly threatening to kill Mugumya. “Like he has done to many other victims, he is promising to shoot him to death,” Kyagulanyi said.

He further argued that Muhoozi’s public statements could eventually become evidence against him. “Nowhere in this modern world has any person abused power so much and publicly owned up so many crimes against humanity!” Kyagulanyi wrote, adding that Muhoozi was “writing his own charge-sheet before the whole world.”

He ended by sending a message to the missing activist: “Hang in there brother Sam. May you outlive those who are taking you through hell.”

The National Unity Platform has repeatedly demanded that missing opposition supporters and Mugumya be produced or their whereabouts disclosed.

Human-rights defenders demand access

Human Rights Defenders and other civil-society voices also reacted sharply.

“If Uganda’s CDF Gen @mkainerugaba is publicly admitting that he personally holds Sam Mugumya—and threatening to execute him—this is no longer a question of where Mugumya is,” the group said. “It is a direct admission of state custody and a threat to his life.”

The group demanded that Mugumya be produced before a court, given immediate access to lawyers, family members and independent doctors and protected from torture or execution.

“A military detention facility is not above the law,” it said.

The Justice Forum (JEEMA) has similarly demanded Mugumya’s immediate production before the High Court and an independent investigation into allegations that he was tortured at a military facility. JEEMA said the allegations surrounding his detention, combined with the latest developments, required a transparent investigation.

The High Court had previously ordered authorities to produce Mugumya in proceedings concerning his alleged military detention. The court action followed his reported disappearance in August 2025.
