Uganda's military finally copped to snatching a Catholic priest after his diocese spent a week hunting through police stations trying to find him. Father Deusdedit Ssekabira got grabbed by armed guys from his NGO office in Masaka City, and the army stayed quiet until Bishop Severus Jjumba cranked up public pressure and filed court papers demanding they produce the missing cleric.
The military claims Ssekabira was doing violent anti-government stuff, and they plan to charge him eventually. His lawyer ripped into security forces for ignoring proper arrest procedures, while relatives questioned why authorities skipped talking to church officials first before rolling up with guns.
The whole thing sparked fresh arguments about disappearances and how the state treats religious figures who get sideways with government operations.
