Kenya Accused of Facilitating Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo’s Abduction in Uganda

Activist Bob Njagi has alleged that his recent abduction in Uganda, alongside fellow activist Nicholas Oyoo, was coordinated between the Kenyan and Ugandan governments

Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Njagi claimed that Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are collaborating to suppress dissenting voices against their respective ruling regimes

“The three governments are collaborating Museveni, our president Ruto, and Samia Suluhu,” Njagi said

He further accused the Kenyan government of being aware of their movement into Tanzania, raising alarms that led to their capture. “They did the dirty job for them,” he stated

Njagi also implicated Uganda’s military, alleging that a militia under the command of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, was responsible for their detention. “These crimes are being undertaken at the Kasenyi Military Barracks, a training centre for the presidential security team,” he said

He added that over 150 people remain in custody without court processes, many held for political reasons

The activists went missing in Uganda for 38 days and reported being held incommunicado by military special forces. Upon returning to Kenya on November 8, they described enduring torture and starvation during their detention. “I didn’t eat for 14 days. We were tortured,” Njagi recounted, visibly emotional
