At the weekend, Mr Mujahid Kiggundu, a son of the deceased, told Daily Monitor that during January 14 General Election, the UPDF arrested his siblings Mr Fatu Kiggundu, a motor-cross rider, and sister Jihad Muhammad at Makindye Military barracks near Makula Foundation.
“After casting my vote at around 4pm, I went to a nearby place to wait for the vote counting. As I was seated there, I saw my two siblings standing near the polling area. In a moment, a Hilux pickup truck with government number plates carrying soldiers parked where we were seated. I saw a policeman bring my brother Fatu Kiggundu, handcuff him and bundle him onto the vehicle,” he said.
