Tortured Kamwenge town council mayor, Godfrey Byamukama was on Saturday returned to Nalufenya, a notorious police detention centre where he had earlier been tortured to near-death.
To many, the move was to keep him away from media and public that had become aware of his condition at Nakasero Hospital.
However, we have since learnt that Byamukama was later returned to the hospital after his condition deteriorated.
Police spokesma, Asan Kasingye confirmed the information though downplayed the fact that it was because Byabakama’s condition had deteriorated.
“Yes, it’s true he was returned to hospital though it was just a normal checkup. He will be returning to hospital every after two days,” he told Eagle.co.ug on phone.
Byamukama was recently arrested in connection to the murder of former police spokesperson Andrew Felix Kaweesi. He had been admitted at the hospital with serious wounds allegedly sustained from police torture.
No family members or friends were allowed access to him but when his presence in the hospital became public, he was returned to Nalufenya, a move protested by Kibaale county legislator, Cuthbert Abigaba.
Byamukama is not just a mere mayor but a cadre of the National Resistance Movement party as double as deputy to Information Minister Frank Tumubaze as district party leader in Kamwenge.
