Pictures and videos of the two revealed that they were on the campaign trail of the muscian turned politician who is seeking to unseat President Yoweri Museveni.
“We strongly condemn the abduction by armed operatives, of Kenyan activists and human rights defenders Bob Nyagi and Nicholas Ayoo. The two were picked up mafia-style this afternoon from a petrol station in Kireka and driven off to an unknown destination!
We condemn the continuing lawlessness by the rogue regime and demand that these brothers are released unconditionally! The criminal regime apparently abducted them simply for associating with me and expressing solidarity with our cause!” said Bobi Wine
The incident is similar to that of human rights activist Boniface Mwangi who was abducted in Tanzania before he was released on unclear conditions.
Tanzania and Uganda have both made it clear that they do not want outside interferance in their political issues.
