Joint security forces on Thursday sealed off the National Unity Platform (NUP) offices in Hoima city allegedly over a planned procession.
The operation, which started around 9 a.m., involved both the Uganda Police Force and the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF). Roadblocks were set up on all major routes leading to the party offices located in Lusaka Middle Cell, Hoima East Division.
According to Habib Buwembo, NUP’s chief mobiliser, party members were caught off guard when security personnel surrounded the offices and ordered everyone to vacate the premises.
He said they had convened for a brief meeting with supporters, candidates, and flag bearers to discuss the party’s regional progress when security suddenly stormed in. He called the actions of the security as an attempt to intimidate and frustrate the party organizational work.
Julius Hakiza, Albertine Region police spokesperson, confirmed the deployment, saying it followed intelligence indicating that NUP supporters were mobilising to hold an unauthorized procession in the city.
He said no political procession can be allowed in the city centre without prior communication and clearance from the police. He described the raid as “normal”, aimed at maintaining law and order.
Thursday’s raid is not the first such incident targeting opposition offices in Hoima. In September, police also sealed off the offices of the National Economic Empowerment Dialogue (NEED) party in Kijungu Cell, Hoima East Division, ahead of a planned launch of the party’s Bunyoro regional offices.
Then, anti-riot police blocked NEED president Joseph Kabuleta from leading a procession through the city to Kibanjwa trading centre in Kitoba sub-county, where he was expected to address supporters.
The repeated disruptions underscore the growing tension between opposition parties and security agencies ahead of the 2026 general elections, with the opposition accusing the state of political suppression, an allegation the authorities deny.
Unfortunately, the history of the Uganda Police Force and the Uganda Army is almost inextricably linked to the problematic nature of the Uganda Republican State, which up to now since 1966 is held together primarily through violence!” It is only time that the Kingdom state of Buganda will come to its political and economic sense and secede from such a nasty and uncivilised African alliance! The Kingdom state of Bunyoro having sown the wind in its boastful colonial modes in the late 18 century, is nowadays harvesting the whirlwind of African dodgy and nationalistic political problems!
When a regime’s core ideology is DISHONESTY, what the Joint security forces attribute to as ‘intelligence indication’, is but stupidity indication. That is also true for the term INVESTIGATION, it is a dirty word because, most of the police officers are DIRTY COPS like their Commander in Chief who is a dirty president intoxicated with bearing false witness and maliciously prosecuting and persecuting whoever stands up to politically challenge his 40 years and counting criminal founded gains.
E.g., before the 2006 General Election who was behind the malicious charges of RAPE and TREASON and/or prosecution/persecution of Dr. Besigye ? It was then CID Director, Afande Elizabeth Kuteesa and her Boss. IGP Gen. Kale Kayihura doing the dirty work for Gen Tibuhaburwa, and like Mafia Goons, to continue protecting the Criminal Gang Gains.
In other words, what is not true is a nonsense. Therefore, these so call Joint security forces are simply dehumanizing themselves; by occupying themselves and wasting the sweat and blood taxpayers money doing the DIRTY WORKS of an 85-years-old PROBLEM OF AFRICA, Gen Tibuhaburwa, who like a scarecrow in the wind, is already falling apart and without a future.
“E.g., before the 2006 General Election who was behind the malicious charges of RAPE and TREASON and/or prosecution/persecution of Dr. Besigye ?
It was then CID Director, Afande Elizabeth Kuteesa and her Boss. IGP Gen. Kale Kayihura doing the dirty work for Gen Tibuhaburwa…” WHO WAS THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS (DPP) then? Was he the guy promoted and deployed at the EC?
Fake Uganda Police Force and the fake Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) are making it clear no one will ever replace Rwandese Museveni in the Uganda that belongs to him & they work for him & not for Ugandans!
Is there any reason still powerless triballydivided Ugandans go for next useless fake presidential election, then bolster Rwandese Museveni with useless parliamentary, local elections to protect him for 45 years?
Were is that just ONE National/Common Leader so so needed to call for an end to the tribalistic system Rwandese Museveni so so cleaverly put in place, then sing Ugandans to UNITY, the only POWER needed to stop their enslavement?
Once Ugandans UNITE, where will Museveni hide, which tribes will ensure he remains on?
Who are those in the fake Uganda Police Force and the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) terrorising Ugandans & it clear Uganda belongs to Rwandese Museveni & not to those whose tribal lands form the zone?
Ugandans, please, No to the tribalistic system & UNTY NOW, to blck & stop Rwandese Museveni, then you will form the kind of governance you want, without armed war!
Rwandese Museven & is police/army are making it clear no one will ever replace the migrant, with or without fake presidential election, reason so called opposition leaders who have further divided an already tribaly divided ruled, MUST not even talk of 2026 fake elections, but just UNITE & UNITE Ugandans for common cause – to end Rwandese Museveni’s ownership of Uganda!
When will Ugandans understad it’s them & them alone, who have the POWER to stop or keep Rwandese Museveni on?
Ugandans, why are tribal leaders still in posts, why go for next fake presidential election that Rwandese Musevenias has already won only to protect him legally, officially, constittionally to ensure his ownership of Uganda, tax money?
Just NO to the tribalistic system & UNITY under just ONE Common Leader are all Ugandans need to blocks & stop Rwandese Museveni, so why ensure in 45 years on with next fake useless presidential election, knowing he will stay on with or without?
Lakwena, thanks.
Only Ugandans, in UNITY will have the POWER to stop Rwandese Museveni & is terrorists Police/Army!
National Police/Army work & protect the people & not demon rulers/dictators!
Ugandans don’t need opposition leaders, but just ONE National/Common Leader who MUST call for an end to the tribalistic system & sing them to UNITY to block & show Rwandese Museveni way out. This is more so as Museveni & his terrorist Police/Army are making it clear no one will ever replace the demon Rwandese coloniser!
But Ugandans, in UNITY, will stop them!
Santa Mugisha, thanks.
Rwandese Museveni has made it clear that no Ugandan will ever replace him, but NO to the tribalistic system he so so cleaverly put in place & UNITY are all Ugandans need have the power to block & stop him!
From which tribal land will Rwandese Museveni retreat to fight back from & will the useless Police/Army join him?
The power to stop Rwandese Museveni & his terrorist Police/Army lies in the hands of Ugandans, but only when they become ONE PEOPLE for Common Cause/Destiny!
Rwandese Museveni can’t fight his brother Kagame nor set foot in Rwanda now, but owns Uganda & tax money, Police & Army are is private security terrorising Ugandans he has made his slaves, does this make sense?
