Summary
Francis Xavier Tibayungwa was picked up from his office in Mbarara Town and led away to Simba Barracks. Because of the brutality the Idi Amin regime had subjected Ugandans to, little effort was put in looking for Tibayungwa, writes

During Idi Amin’s reign that lasted eight years, hundreds of Ugandans were arrested and have never been seen again. One such unlucky Ugandan was former Ankole Kingdom administrative secretary Francis Xavier Tibayungwa.
Tibayungwa was kidnapped by Brig Ali Fadhul, then commanding officer of the Simba Battalion based at Mbarara Barracks, in 1972.
