Prominent lawyer and former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has become the subject of intense public debate following reports that he was allegedly abducted shortly after taking steps to pursue legal action involving Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
According to accounts circulating on social media, Lukwago’s residence was surrounded by security operatives in the early hours of the morning. Some reports further claim that surveillance drones were spotted over the property before individuals believed to be security personnel entered the compound and reportedly took him away.
The reports have sparked widespread concern among opposition supporters, legal professionals, and human rights activists, many of whom are demanding answers regarding his whereabouts and safety.
The controversy has been fueled by claims that Lukwago was preparing legal action linked to matters involving Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Supporters argue that the timing of the alleged operation raises serious questions, while activists have called for transparency and accountability from authorities.
As speculation continues to grow, political observers say the incident has intensified debate about the intersection of legal activism, opposition politics, and state security. With no comprehensive official explanation yet provided, public attention remains firmly fixed on developments surrounding one of Uganda’s most outspoken legal and political figures.
