Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni admitted his government abducted two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, and held them in custody, humorously stating he "put them in a fridge." This revelation followed their release and a period of denial from the Ugandan government.

• President Museveni stated the two Kenyans were "experts in riots" and working with opposition leader Robert Kyagulani (alias Bobi Wine).
• The admission was made during an interview with UBC TV, a day after Njagi and Oyoo's release.
• Museveni claimed their intelligence was "very good" in apprehending the individuals.

The family of Bob Njagi, a Kenyan activist abducted in Uganda, has revealed the stringent conditions imposed by Ugandan authorities for his release, along with Nicholas Oyoo. The two were held for over a month, with Ugandan officials demanding assurances they would cease political activities against President Yoweri Museveni’s government.

• Ugandan officials initially intended to detain Njagi until after the January elections to prevent opposition campaigning.
• The release was secured after the family promised that Njagi would not return to Uganda to campaign against President Museveni’s opponents.
• Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi intervened, appealing to President Yoweri Museveni and his son General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
• Njagi and Oyoo were abducted in Kira, Kampala, on October 1, enduring 38 days in secret detention before being handed over to Kenyan authorities on November 7.

Two Kenyans, Frederick Lorent Obuya and John Gitahi Nderitu, arrested during post-election protests in Tanzania on October 29, have been released without charges to the custody of the Kenyan High Commission in Dar es Salaam. This follows concerns regarding arrests after contentious elections in Tanzania and comes shortly after the release of Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, who were allegedly abducted in Uganda.

• The Kenyan High Commission in Tanzania announced the release of Frederick Lorent Obuya, a lawyer & tour operator, and John Gitahi Nderitu, a financial professional.
• The two were arrested during protests on October 29, 2025, during the General Elections.
• Their release occurred just hours after Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo were released after allegedly being abducted in Uganda for 38 days, being handed over to Kenyan High Commission in Uganda.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has labeled two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, "experts in organizing riots" after their 38-day detention in Uganda. Museveni claims the arrests were based on intelligence linking them to plans for inciting violence and ties to opposition leader Bobi Wine.

• The activists were released on November 7, 2025, after being held since October 1, 2025, and reported inhumane treatment and torture.
• Njagi stated they were abducted by the military, had not eaten for fourteen days, and feared for their lives.
• Their release followed diplomatic efforts led by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and advocacy from human rights groups including VOCAL Africa, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), and Amnesty International Kenya, who condemned the torture and demanded accountability.
