“Whenever I Am Angry , I Kidnap NUP Supporters And Put Them In My Basement” Muhoozi Brags

A chilling statement attributed to General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, has ignited widespread condemnation after he claimed, “At times like this when I’m unhappy, I normally kidnap a NUP official and take him to the basement.”

The remarks, posted on X came amid allegations of abductions of National Unity Platform (NUP) officials.

The statement has fueled accusations of state-sponsored repression against NUP, a leading opposition party.

Social media platforms, particularly X, erupted with outrage, with users labeling Muhoozi’s comments as a brazen admission of human rights abuses.

“This is a mockery of justice,” one X user posted, reflecting public fury. NUP leaders demanded immediate investigations, accusing the government of targeting dissenters.

Muhoozi, a senior military figure and rumored successor to his father, has not publicly clarified or denied the statement.

The government has remained silent, intensifying speculation of high-level complicity. Human rights groups called for international sanctions, citing a pattern of abductions and torture.

The controversy threatens to escalate tensions ahead of Uganda’s 2026 elections, with NUP vowing to seek justice for its members.
