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.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
