David Lewis Rubongoya Arrested – News Coming onto Boom Gossip news desk indicates that Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya has been arrested outside NBS Television studios.
Rubongoya was returning from the NBS Frontline political show where he had been invited as a panelist to discuss the NUP party strategy for the 2021 general elections. No sooner had he concluded with the programme than the police waiting outside NBS premises descended on him and bundled him onto their patrol and drove off to an unknown destination at breakneck speed.
“They are not telling me why they are arresting me”- NUP Secretary General, David Rubongoya.
“It shouldn’t surprise anybody, this is just intimidation. The beret we put on is not a military beret, this is just politics” – NUP Secretary General, David Rubongoya added.
This is not the first time police is arresting opposition politicians who attend political shows. A few months back, Mukono municipality legislator Betty Nambooze Bakireke, Kampala Central MP hopeful Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu and Charles Rwomushana were forced to spend a night in the studios after police mounted road blocks just outside NBS premises in an attempt to arrest them and charge them for flouting curfew.
We are trying to contact David Lewis to ascertain his whereabouts but our efforts are futile with his known phone contacts going unanswered.
This is still a developing story that will be updated shortly.
