Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has been moved to Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court to face treason charges. The transfer followed his earlier detention and questioning at Kira Division Police Headquarters on Wednesday. Lukwago was accompanied by his lawyer, Medard Lubega, during the statement recording process. Details surrounding the specific allegations leading to the treason charges have not yet been publicly released. This development marks a significant legal challenge for the prominent opposition figure. The case is expected to draw considerable attention within Uganda’s political landscape, given Lukwago’s previous role as Lord Mayor and his standing within the opposition. Further updates will depend on the proceedings at Makindye court.
