Uganda's top female general told people to chill out about a Catholic priest who went missing for almost two weeks before the military finally admitted they grabbed him. Lt. Gen. Proscovia Nalweyiso confirmed Father Deusdedit Ssekabira from Masaka Diocese is sitting in detention over claims he got mixed up with anti-government operations, and she warned everyone to stop jumping to conclusions while elections are about to go down.
The diocese kept saying soldiers in uniform snatched the priest back at the start of the month, but police played dumb until the army dropped a statement saying they arrested him for violent subversion and plan to take him to court. Bishop Severus Jjumba compared the whole situation to another priest who vanished permanently decades ago.
Nalweyiso also threw shade at opposition candidates wearing helmets and body armor during rallies, suggesting that kind of gear makes it look like they expect things to get messy.
