The police in Hoima are investigating the circumstances under which Pius Wakabi, the Bugahya County Member of Parliament, has reportedly gone missing.
Wakabi was last seen yesterday afternoon in Hoima City in good health.
Paul Rujumba, Wakabi’s brother, told the press that they met around midday on Wednesday in Hoima City. Wakabi later informed him that he was traveling to Buseruka Sub-County to meet his constituents.
Rujumba said that at around 7:00 p.m., while traveling in his Toyota Wish vehicle, Wakabi called to report that he was being trailed by unknown individuals in another vehicle.
When Rujumba attempted to call him back, all of Wakabi’s phones were switched off. The disappearance prompted the family to report the matter to Hoima Central Police Station. Wakabi’s whereabouts remain unknown, as all his phones are still unreachable. Julius Hakiza, the Albertine Region Police spokesperson, confirmed the incident and said investigations have commenced.
