The opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu’s civilian bodyguard, Edward Sebuufu aka Eddy Mutwe, has been charged with two counts of robbery and aggravated robbery and remanded to prison despite his poor health condition resulted from days of torture in military detention.

Mutwe, who according to NUP President, was violently abducted by soldiers in Mukono district on April 27, has been under military detention since then.

Today, Monday, May 5, 2025, he was brought to Masaka High Court by security forces. He was limping and was supported by two individuals to walk.

Journalists were barred from capturing the proceedings.

As a result, journalists did not attend the court session, but Mutwe’s lawyer, Magellan Kazibwe, who himself was initially restricted from accessing court premises but later allowed to enter, revealed to reporters what transpired in Court.

“By the time we entered court, we found Mutwe being arraigned before His Worship, Abudallah Kaiza – Grade One Magistrate, who read the charges against him,” Kazibwe told reporters after the court session.

“Those are the same charges which were preferred against Achleo Kivumbi, Wakabi, and Gaddafi (other civilian bodyguards of the NUP President). The same charges of simple robbery and aggravated robbery, which allegedly occurred at Manja village in Lwengo district,” he added.

A few days after Mutwe was arrested, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugab, posted a picture of him (Eddy Mutwe) with his beard shaved.

Today, Kazibwe said that his client has been badly tortured.

“Mr Edward Sebuufu has been over tortured for all the days he has been in illegal detention. He was tortured every day. He has told me and my colleague that he was tortured every day five times. And they were beating him using wires of electricity. They were electrocuting him; they were squeezing him, including his private parts. He is in great pain,” Kazibwe told reporters.

“He has not received any medication, he has not accessed any doctor up to now, and he was not being allowed even to communicate with his relatives. They confiscated his mobile phones and all the money. He has not been eating, and he is in a very bad and appalling state,” Kazibwe added.
