Stop Killing Muslims Under The Disguise Of Fighting Terrorism – Bobi Wine

National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine has lashed out at security forces for the extrajudicial killings of Ugandans especially Muslims under the pretext of fighting terrorism. This follows the fatal shooting of Sheikh Muhammad Abbas Karevu on the 18th of November 2021.

Security operatives shot Karevu dead in Nsangi Wakiso after an alleged violent confrontation. However, according to Bobi Wine, Karevu’s son said that soldiers handcuffed his father and then shot him dead.

“The continuing extra-judicial killings of Ugandans (esp Muslims) under the pretext that they are terror suspects must be condemned. Sheikh Muhammad Abbas Kirevu joins a long list of those executed. His child confirmed he was handcuffed upon arrest, but they went on to shoot him,” Kyagulanyi said.

Kyagulanyi added that for many years, security operatives violently arrest suspects and even deny them their constitutional rights.

The former presidential candidate added that sadly when these people court acquits people due to lack of evidence, they don’t hold anyone accountable for their torture.

“For years, many have been killed & others violently arrested. Those detained are usually subjected to grave torture and long periods of imprisonment without trial. Most times, they’re acquitted by courts for lack of evidence. Sadly, no one is held accountable for these crimes!” Kyagulanyi added.

He also went ahead to say that it’s on record that the security departments are not credible at all. Bobi Wine said that they have made up most of the charges most people are facing.

“Every time they murder someone, security agencies will claim the person was violent towards them. But as we know, so many Ugandans (including me) have been framed with bogus, untrue claims by the regime. There must be due process of law.”

However, some of his followers were not happy with his submission as they told him that he was quick to jump to a conclusion.

Police spokesperson Fred Enanga revealed that Sheikh Karevu was among the ADF’s recruitment and coordination cell members in the country. The Minister of State for Internal Affairs Gen David Muhoozi revealed that Sheikh Karevu had been given amnesty in 2005. He however had resorted to recruiting members to the rebel outfit.
