Just in: Joseph Kabuleta Arrested

Security agents have Monday morning arrested opposition National Economic Empowerment Dialogue (NEED) party leader Joseph Kabuleta.

Kabuleta was reportedly grabbed by plain-clothed men who showed up at his part offices in Bugolobi, Kampala at around 1pm.

A source at the office told ChimpReports that the men pulled up at the gate in a black drone.

“Two of them entered the gate and grabbed him from his office, while three others stayed in the drone,” the source said.

This was shortly after Kabuleta had finished addressing his weekly press conference which focused on the recent space of insecurity in the country.

The opposition party announced said Kabuleta was “taken to CID Kibuli” alothough Police were yet to confirm this.

The arrest comes weeks after Mr Kabuleta was summoned to Police to be questioned about comments he made 5 months ago, which police say were divisive.

Kabuleta was ordered to appear before the Police’s CID Commander at CPS on November 4, 2022 but did not show up.

According to the police summons letter, Kabuleta is accused of making tribal based comments on May 30, 2022.
