It may sound dramatic but police and other sister agencies have reportedly hijacked National Unity Platform’s candidate Erias Nalukoola around Kawempe Mbogo Mosque as he was heading to the nomination venue with his agents. The official agent was whisked away and all his nomination papers taken away.
Speaking to Media while processing new documents, Nalukoola revealed that his official agent was taken captive and all his documents including payment receipts of his nomination fee were all taken.
“What has been done this morning is very horrible, but we shall not surrender, we shall not abandon the nobel cause intended to cause democracy in Uganda. We want all peace loving people, those who believe in democracy to condemn what has been done by the regime of General Museveni, abducting my official agent, taking away all my documents which were meant to facilitate the process of nomination even after payment of nomination fee, all the receipts and other important documents have been taken by those men”-said a visibly disappointed Nalukoola
