Museveni Admits Abducting Two Kenyan Activists; Others Released from Tanzania - November 2025

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni admitted his government abducted two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, and held them in custody. Museveni later labeled the activists "experts in organizing riots" following their 38-day detention, claiming the arrests were based on intelligence linking them to plans for inciting violence. The family of Bob Njagi revealed that Ugandan authorities imposed stringent conditions for his and Nicholas Oyoo's release, demanding they cease political activities against Museveni’s government. In a separate incident, two other Kenyans, Frederick Lorent Obuya and John Gitahi Nderitu, were released without charges to the Kenyan High Commission in Dar es Salaam. They had been arrested on October 29 during post-election protests in Tanzania.
