The Ugandan military has confirmed it is holding Father Deusdedit Ssekabira, a Catholic priest who went missing on December 3, accusing him of involvement in “violent subversive activities”.
The priest’s disappearance had sparked widespread concern, with the Catholic Diocese alleging he was “kidnapped by men in Uganda Army uniform”.
The military statement said Ssekabira is in “lawful custody” and will face charges in court, drawing criticism from opposition leader Bobi Wine, who accused President Yoweri Museveni’s government of detaining civilians.
