Former Forum for Democratic for Change-FDC President Kiiza Besigye has been arrested and transferred to Naggalama Police Station.
Police arrested Besigye today while he was addressing a rally at Nakivubo Lane, Kampala City.
Patrick Onyango the Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson said that Dr. Besigye disrupted business, and traffic flow and incited violence.
According to Onyango, police were forced to tow Besigye’s vehicle registration number UAK 773K to Central Police Station-CPS.
He was later whisked off to Naggalama together with Sam Lubega Mukaaku of the Democratic Party-DP.
Last month, Besigye through his pressure group, the People’s Front has been mobilizing Ugandans to protest the high cost of living.
Besigye wants the government to reclaim the funds swindled by corrupt officials so that they can be used to enhance the salaries of civil servants and give relief to schools, among others. END.
