Some of the journalists who were already at Entebbe Airport have been asked to present accreditation from Civil Aviation Authority and those without it have been chased away from the airport checkpoint.
This reporter has learnt that journalists from different media houses who were still travelling from Kampala to the Entebbe have been arrested and detained at Kisubi Police station.
