People Power Leader and President of the National Unity Platform, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine has said that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s comments about the incident in August, 2018 shall be used when they take him to International Criminal Court (ICC).
President Museveni last week said the Special Forces Command (SFC) soldiers were professional in handling the MP Kyagulanyi and his colleagues who had provoked them in Arua.
Museveni was speaking in Masindi at the Kabalye police training school at the function to pass out more than 4800 Police officers.
Robert Kyagulanyi, Arua Municipality MP Kassiano Wadri, Jinja East MP Paul Mwiru, Ntungamo Municipality MP Gerald Karuhanga, Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake among more than 30 others were apprehended following a fracas that allegedly involved pelting president Museveni’s motorcade with stones.
Besides Kyagulanyi’s driver Yasiin Kawuma who was shot dead, Kyagulanyi and others said that they had been brutally tortured during arrest and in police/army custody.
While in Masindi on Friday Museveni said that he had personally investigated the torture allegations raised by Kyagulanyi and his colleagues, but found out that the SFC officers were only defending themselves from the unruly politicians who attacked them while resisting arrest.
Speaking to journalist today at his party headquarters Kamwokya, Kyagulanyi who is also MP for Kyadondo East constituency said president Museveni’s words have only helped to prove that the SFC soldiers tortured and abused the rights of the people in their custody to the extent of Killing his driver Yassin Kawuma and this will be enough evidence in ICC.
