Two Kenyan activists have been abducted in Uganda after attending opposition leader Bobi Wine’s presidential campaign event, raising alarm among rights groups and political leaders across the region.
Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, both linked to the Free Kenya Movement, were reportedly taken on Wednesday afternoon from a petrol station in Kireka, a suburb just outside Kampala.
Bobi Wine’s party, the National Unity Platform (NUP), condemned the incident, calling it a blatant violation of human rights.
“We strongly condemn the abduction by armed operatives of Kenyan activists and human rights defenders Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo,” the party said in a statement.
“Reports confirm that activists Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo were abducted in Kampala while attending Bobi Wine’s campaign,” Khalid said.
