Former Butambala County member of parliament Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi has resurfaced at Nateete police station after being held incommunicado for more than two weeks following his arrest by unidentified security operatives.
According to sources, Kivumbi was dropped at the police station on Wednesday morning by unknown state operatives. URN could not independently verify the circumstances under which he was brought to the station or whether he is expected to be arraigned in court.
Kivumbi had been missing since July 9, 2026, when he was re-arrested by unidentified security operatives shortly after securing bail on terrorism charges before the International Crimes Division (ICD) of the High court.
His disappearance prompted his lawyers and family members to petition the High court, seeking orders compelling security agencies to produce him before court or disclose his whereabouts.
The latest development comes days after High Court judge Collins Acellam directed the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Attorney General to conclude investigations into Kivumbi’s disappearance and file a report before the court on Wednesday.
In their responses, both the Attorney General and the Uganda Police Force told the court they had no knowledge of Kivumbi’s whereabouts. It was shortly after those responses were filed that Kivumbi was brought to Nateete Police Station by unidentified operatives.
By the time of filing this report, the police had not issued an official statement explaining Kivumbi’s presence at the station. It also remained unclear whether he would face fresh charges, be released, or be produced before court.
