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.
