Armed Men Asked for Ransom from Two Guys After Abducting Them on Allegations of Tweeting "President Museveni is Dead".

Armed men cruising in a drone Tuesday abducted a one Chris Nabugere for allegedly tweeting fake news of claiming President Museveni had died.

The incident was reported by his sister Phoebe Rita Nabugere who tweeted:

“A drone with licence plate number UBG 454B just captured my brother and his friends from our compound while beating them up with guns. The fear running through me right now is immeasurable with all those “once they capture you, you never return” stories running through my head.”

Nabugere was picked from his home compound at around 5:30 pm in a drone car registration no UBG 454B.

Rita, a sister to Chris, the abductors seized her brother and his friends and started beating them with gun butts as they threw them in the vehicle.

Chris later tweeted saying they were kidnapped by at least nine (9) men.

“The group of about 9 men who were masked-up, beat us up with the back of their guns, while one was using a screwdriver trying to piece my friend,” he said.

“He asked “isn’t your name Cyrus.?” “aren’t you the one who tweeted that the president has died and added a picture of him sleeping?” I kept on saying my name is Chris and not Cyrus. And he slapped me saying I am lying to an officer. So, he got pliers and asked me for my ID,” he said.

“And I told him I didn’t have it because I was home when they picked me., so he tried to pull my nails., but because I bite my nails the pliers couldn’t hold anything and his other friend gave me a twin slap and said to me “answer the Afande when he asks you”” he added.

The men asked each to call their relatives to send them money, before forcing them to reveal their mobile money pin codes.

The money was withdrawn off the phones.

One of the officers told Chris to sing the new song by Bobi Wine titled “akatengo”.

They were driven to Mutundwe and ordered to run as fast as they could.

Rita says the officers have been arrested on orders of Brig Chris Sserunjogi Ddamulira, the head of the Crime Intelligence Directorate.

“With the help of General Ddamulira, all the officers who participated in the act in the drone with registration number UBG 454B have been apprehended,” she said.

“Chris is back home. I’m relieved and very angry in the same measure. These “officers” who kidnapped him beat him up and his friends so bad. They claimed that he’s called Cyrus and had picked up on his tweets where he said that he hates the President. He said he’s not called Cyrus,” she added.
