Ms Rhoda Namirembe told Daily Monitor yesterday that her husband, Mr Tabula Ssekitoreko, 38, a carpenter, was kidnapped at his workplace in Katwe, a Kampala suburb.
Ms Namirembe, a mother of six, said on the fateful day, her husband went to work early in the morning but at around 12 noon, his workmates called and told her that he had been arrested by armed police wearing black uniforms.
“I started calling him (husband) but he did not pick up his phone. I waited until 10pm and that was when I realised that he had been kidnapped,” Ms Namirembe said.

At least 46 supporters and campaign team members of National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi were on Thursday evening finally released after reappearing before Masaka Chief Magistrate Charles Yeteise.
The accused were granted bail on Monday but remained in prison where they were reportedly being guarded by armed soldiers, according to their lawyers.
There have been attempts by NUP lawyers to secure their release since Monday, but all the efforts failed despite engaging prison authorities at Masaka Ssaza government Prison.
