"Killing me will not help because it is just a matter of who dies first, all of us will die and i am ready to die,” Furious Bishop Bukomeko Condemns Lukwago Abduction, Warns Uganda Is Returning to ‘Dark Times’

Mityana Diocese Bishop Dr. Ssalongo James Bukomeko has strongly condemned the arrest and alleged mistreatment of former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, warning that Uganda risks sliding back into what he described as "dark times" marked by fear, intimidation, and abuse of human rights.

Speaking passionately during a public address, the outspoken cleric criticized the growing reports of abductions, torture, and politically motivated arrests, saying the country is moving in a dangerous direction that should concern every Ugandan regardless of political affiliation.

Bukomeko expressed particular concern over the recent arrest of Lukwago, one of Uganda's most prominent opposition figures and lawyers, whose detention has sparked widespread criticism from human rights advocates, legal professionals, religious leaders, and opposition supporters.GET FULL STORY HERE.
