{UAH} OJOBILE AUGUSTINE ACCOUNT ON HIS KIDNAP ON 10TH AUGUST 2021.
OJOBILE AUGUSTINE ACCOUNT ON HIS KIDNAP ON 10TH AUGUST 2021.
On 10th August,as early as 8:30am, while at my house in Kasubi zone 4,Rubaga division, I saw one man who came closer to us asking for the home of zone 4 LC1 chairman Mr.kaddu.
Immediately before he was directed, he man handled me saying I either keep silent or I get short dead. I responded in negativity by telling him,its a lie,your are taking me nowhere.
As I fought back,5 other plain clothed clothed gun wielding men jumped out of a TX Prado UAZ 215U. Later on, I realised the number plate was just put to camouflage, the true number plate of the car that kidnapped me was UAM 304X. This I got after I was already put in the car.
Back to the men who jumped out of the tinted TX Prado, currying AK47 and came to me and curried me off the fight. I withdrew and accepted it was now death on sight.
As they carried me,one of the men used the AK47 to hit me on the neck. I was lucky that it didn't touch the blood tissue connecting to the brain. I was curried to the TX Prado who made me sit in the back sit, middle of very angry looking men. I later realised it was Corporal Ayub a lugbara by tribe from Koboko district was the leader of the killer squad sent to take me either dead or alive.
Speedily, they drove off heading towards kawaala ,along the way,they realised that their phone had fallen off during the scuffle to push me in to the TX Prado.
They called back and a female voice responded in affirmative ready to give back the phone. This helped the villagers to converge and see the car that actually picked their member.
Its at this point,the crowd of members of zone 4 Kasubi parish lubaga division in Kampala saw the numbers of the Prado and made an alerm both on social media and main media.
The woman handed over the phone to the driver who gave her a token of 5000/=. Immediately the journey to the unknown destination started. They stopped at bwaise police booth which was hidden with no person in police uniform, no police sign post, no clear reception,but indication were clear,it must be a torture centre.
The stop over there was for two purposes,to inflict pain on me and also inform their "other"bosses that they had the suspect with them.
At this point, I was beaten for silence. They demanded to know what I plan to do after the coffin demonstration and the funders of such activities. I almost lost both knees to these killers.
They realised I seem to have taken a decision to stay silent over such,I then was driven to kawempe police station in pain and bleeding. At this point, they cracked the pass ward of my phone,and started direct contact with my people, checking my inbox and going into different communication channels.
Unfortunately to their dismay, they gained nothing from my phone. My only statement to them was that, I support each and every person who says Diana Atwine should resign, and in my mind its never a crime to do so.
Our constitution gives four avenues for one to leave office,which is death, impeachment, disappointment by the appointment officer and finally resigning from office. This lecture didn't go well with them,it seemed like I had called for a test of their wrath.
The way I was slapped, I thought a tooth had come out of my mouth. At this point,I internally agreed to talk only what they don't want to hear.
I started by telling them,they were losers,how do 6 gun wielding men come for 1 man who has never done even simple basic military training, such a group is as useless as the person who is in the ministry of health but promoting death more than life.
One of the officers angrily hit my head against the wall. This made me remember the one man demonstration I did at police headquarters Naguru against former IGP of police.
I continued,by telling them I act for and on behalf of those whose rights are infringed. In 2016 when Kale Kayihura gave wrong orders to his officers who killed and tortured supporters of Dr. Besigye as he left Luzira prison,kayihura in a twist started sending these officers on forced leave and refresher course.
My demonstration was for your rights then,not for me,because I have no relative in the forces. This statement cooled them some how. One of them asked,if I feel good that kayihura is out of office. My response was simple, my happiness is not derived from the officer,but Justice.
I was taken and kept in a private cell till around 2pm,when I was made to face the RPC of Kawempe. He apologised for what I had gone through,and promised it shall not happen again. He asked me to say yes to the charges for a lenient charge and penalty.
I openly told him,just do the charging, its my role to defend a right. He knew nothing would be got out of me, hence the immediate order to take in to the police custody cells. Its at this point I found kawooya Sharif with my bleeding knees.
On 11th August, 2021, information came that we were meant to appear before Nabweru court. Little did the people outside Kawempe police know it was camouflage.
They drove us to kira division and came back to Kampala city centre to Wandegeya Police where we were called killers and no body should come closer to us. Its at this point I got to know we were charged of incitement of violence against Diana Atwine and other members of Ministry of Health.
From here, we were driven to LDC court,read to us the charges and denied us bail on no clear grounds. we were driven to kitalya minimax prison. At kitalya, we were not allowed to communicate to our people.
We had been remanded till 23rd August 2021,but the day passed without the leadership of kitalya prison giving any reason for not inviting us to court. Later on,we realised it was an order to continue infringing on our rights and punish as further. So I wrote to the OC Kitalya to allow me communicate both to my family and lawyer,he never responded.
At this point,I promised officers at the prison to demonstrate in the near future if my rights are stepped on further. Immediately our names were read for transfer. The prison leadership decided to transfer us to Luzira prison. At Luzira prison, the leadership seemed understanding and professional. They took full responsibility of our stay though we were also careful with such antiques.
On 6th September, when we were meant to appear in court (LDC) The magistrate Alule Augustine Koma was made to put our file at halt after kitalya prison didn't inform court of the transfer. Kitalya prison leaders were put to task to produce us in court as soon as possible, till when they revealed,that they had actually transfered us to Luzira prison.
Luzira confirmed to court, it had both of us. Bail was granted but it took the prison more than 24hrs to release us even after court had issued release orders.
My phone was confiscated and retained by the RPC Kawempe for reasons only known to him till today.
At this point, I want to thank every person who in one way or another did something for the promotion of Justice and struggle. Our political party FDC,civil society, the patriots, friends and relatives, I'm humbled by your big heart. I shall continue preaching the gospel of being patriotic to our country not in words,but in action.
For God and my country.
