Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has reportedly made another controversial statement targeting members and supporters of the National Unity Platform (NUP).
According to a statement attributed to Muhoozi, he said that most NUP supporters whom he described as “terrorists” would be hanged, specifically mentioning opposition activist Eddie Mutwe.
“We intend to hang most of the NUP terrorists. Including Eddie Mutwe. We will do it soon,” the statement attributed to Muhoozi reads.
The reported remarks have sparked concern because they refer directly to the possible execution of an identifiable opposition figure.
Eddie Mutwe, whose real name is Edward Ssebuufu, is a close associate and bodyguard of NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi, commonly known as Bobi Wine. He was abducted in May 2025 and later appeared before court in Masaka.
Mutwe’s detention attracted widespread attention after Muhoozi publicly claimed that he was being held in his “basement.” Reports also documented allegations surrounding Mutwe’s treatment while in detention.
Muhoozi has previously made public statements about hanging opposition figures, including former presidential candidate Kizza Besigye, with some of those remarks later featuring in legal proceedings concerning alleged threats against Besigye.
However, the latest quotation could not be independently verified from a reliable current source at the time of writing and should therefore be treated as an attributed social-media statement, not as a confirmed government decision.
