Former Security Minister Lt.Gen. Henry Tumukunde is s said to be at city hall court.
Sources in security circles say the former spymaster was moved from Kololo hospital to city hall where he is supposed to appear. His lawyers had earlier protested the continued detention of their client beyond the mandatory requirement of 48 hours.
“I have been produced at City Hall Magistrate’s Court this afternoon. Remain strong and stay focused” reads a message posted on his social media platforms.
Gen. Tumukunde was arrested last week on Thursday from his Kololo offices. He was eventually taken into custody by a combined team of security agencies as they searched his offices, residence and up-country home. Earlier Uganda Police Spokesperson, Fred Enanga had indicated that he would be charged with treason but sources within the investigating team say the treason charge is likely to hold and as so, a host of other charges are likely to be slapped on him.
Meanwhile Kyadondo East legislator, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine was denied entry at Kololo hospital to see Gen. Tumukunde. Mr. Kyagulanyi had paid a visit to him.
“Earlier, went to Kololo Hospital to see Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde who has been admitted there for days after his arrest. Police increased deployment & blocked us despite protests from his family. Minutes later, they whisked him away! We struggle to end injustice by all and to all”
