Following the Red
Pepper & Social media stories about Christopher Aine, I get to put myself in
position of a close relative o Aine, and I fail to imagine what they can be
going through now. Hopefully, the truth
will get to be known with time.
Let’s pray for the
family.
As regards Aine, I
find the following important:
1.
Museveni statement following the
clashes in Ntungamo.
2.
The Go Forward statement regarding Uganda
Police kidnap of Aine.
3.
The award by Uganda Police.
4.
Relatives confirming that picture of
body is that of Aine.
STORIES TO DO WITH
AINE:
Amama
'thugs' stuck a finger in a leopard’s anus - Museveni
President
Yoweri Museveni has promised to personally deal with the 'thugs' who beat up
his supporters in Ntungamo last Sunday.
Addressing
the press at Mbale State lodge, Museveni said those 'thugs' committed a very
grave mistake that they will forever regret. Museveni equated the trouble
awaiting the 'thugs' to what would befall "if you put your hands in the
anus of a leopard, you are in trouble"
Violent
clashes erupted between independent presidential candidate Amama Mbabazi and
pro-Museveni supporters in Ntungamo following confrontations at Kitwe in first
Lady Janet Kataaha Museveni's Ruhaama constituency where Mbabazi's supporters vandalized
a car pasted with Museveni's campaign posters.
News coming from the Go Forward camp indicate that Uganda Police has
kidnapped Amama Mbabazi’s head of security Christopher Aine and taken him to an
unknown location.
Posting
on twitter, Amama Mbabazi’s Public Relations Officer Josephine Mayanja Nkangi
said that Aine had been kidnapped by the Police’s ‘flying squad’ from Kyanja,
in the capital Kampala.
Amama Mbabazi’s lawyer Severino Twinobusingye accuses
police of illegally holding Aine and demands that he be produced before a court
of law and duly charged.
The
family of Christopher Aine, the missing chief of Independent presidential
candidate Amama Mbabazi’s private security team, is worried about his
wellbeing.
The family believes that the police is not being
truthful about Aine's whereabouts and is now appealing to the police for
information about their relative.
Aine’s sister told NTV that the family is now even
more concerned after persistent rumours that Aine might be dead.
The family of Christopher
Aine, an aide to Independent candidate Amama Mbabazi, fears he could have died
in police hands, days after Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura published
a reward of shs20m for whoever gives the authorities information leading to his
arrest.
The family has now put the
police on the spot, arguing the bounty, a first of its kind for a minor offence
of assault, could be a ploy to cover up a possible death in police hands
Relatives
of the missing Go Forward Campaign’s head of security have confirmed that the
picture of the dead body circulating in media is that of Mr Christopher Aine.
The
picture of the decomposing body appeared January 6, 2016 evening on social
media, about two weeks after Mr Aine went missing.
