Speaking to journalists on Thursday outside Jinja High court, Akuze said that he held a meeting with individuals whose identities he refused to disclose, before withdrawing the case.
Akuze says that Kadaga’s supporters have been threatening his life, which affected the wellbeing of his family. Ivan Mangeni the plaintiff’s lawyer denied involvement in Akuze’s decision to withdraw the case.
Last month, angry residents armed with placards in defense of Kadaga stormed Akuze’s home and ejected him. The residents sounded drums within the compound and ordered him to vacate or risk being lynched.
