Political analyst Ronald Egesa and activist David Musiri have been abducted in Kampala within hours of each other. Egesa was taken by armed men from Radio One’s car park after appearing on Akaboozi FM with Jude Bukenya. Radio One said gunmen bundled him into a white van known as a drone. His whereabouts remain unknown. Agora described the men as military personnel, though their identities remain unverified. Accounts differ on timing, with journalist Canary Mugume saying Egesa was taken while on air. Hours later, Musiri was seized by operatives from his home on Salaama Road. NUP secretary general David Rubongoya reported the disappearance on Saturday. No official explanation was available. Musiri, an NUP head of institutions, built his profile through activism at Makerere. In 2021, he alleged gunmen seized him.

Security agencies remained silent on Saturday evening, more than 20 hours after political analyst Leonard Ronald Egesa was seized outside Radio One / Akaboozi FM in Kampala.

Egesa was taken around 8:50pm on Friday after a talk show with Jude Bukenya. CCTV shows plainclothes armed men bundling him into an unmarked white van, locally called a “drone.” His whereabouts remain unknown.

Less than 24 hours later, activist David Musiri was reportedly taken by heavily armed operatives from his home on Salaama Road, Makindye, according to NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya.

Neither UPDF nor Police has explained either operation. The Uganda Law Society has condemned the incidents as enforced disappearances and demanded Egesa’s immediate release.
