The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has condemned the continued detention of Edward Ssebuufu, also known as Eddie Mutwe, the head of security for National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi, describing it as part of a broader campaign to suppress opposition voices ahead of the 2026 general elections.

Edward Ssebuwufu aka Eddie Mutwe, head of Bobi Wine’s security allegedly abducted by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

Speaking during the party’s weekly press briefing at Najjanankumbi on Monday, FDC deputy secretary for publicity in charge of publication and documentation, Mulindwa Walid Lubega, criticized what he termed as the government’s increasing disregard for the rule of law and human rights.

“Eddie Mutwe’s situation is not an isolated incident, but part of the systematic campaign to silence dissent and crush the aspirations of Ugandans clamoring for change and freedom,” Mulindwa said.

Mutwe was reportedly abducted on April 26 in Mukono District and taken to an undisclosed location. Days later, Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son to President Museveni, posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account confirming he was holding him. He shared photos showing Mutwe in a distressed state, suggesting he was being kept in a private basement and being “taught Runyankore.”

The photos have since sparked public outrage, with many interpreting them as signs of torture and tribal provocation. The FDC has demanded Mutwe’s immediate release or his production in court if there are any charges against him.

“Article 28 of Uganda’s Constitution guarantees the right to a fair hearing, while Article 24 prohibits torture and degrading treatment. The continued illegal detention of political opponents undermines these protections,” Mulindwa added.

Gen. Muhoozi’s social media posts have drawn sharp criticism from various sections of the public, including elites from Western Uganda who distanced themselves from his statements. Renowned journalist Leonard Kamugisha Akida warned that such actions could fuel tribal tensions and harm the image of the Banyankore community.

“We may laugh now, but this young man (Gen. Muhoozi) is digging us a very deep grave,” Kamugisha said, urging Banyankore to speak out against the misuse of power and end the narrative of ethnic favoritism.

Kamugisha further noted that many in Western Uganda are also living in poverty and do not benefit from the privileges associated with those close to the ruling elite.

“It’s not just about being a Munyankore. The real beneficiaries are descendants of Bush War veterans. The rest of us are being left behind,” he said.

On Sunday, the Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Paul Ssemogerere, also weighed in, calling for the release of all Ugandans detained without due process. He made the remarks while presiding over a consecration Mass at St. Bruno Ssebugwawo – Kasenge Catholic Parish.

The FDC continues to call for the immediate release of all political prisoners, warning that the continued disregard for constitutional rights could plunge the country into deeper political instability.
