Concern is mounting after reports emerged that investigative journalist, filmmaker, and digital activist Andrew Natumanya, popularly known as NinyeTabz, was allegedly abducted in Kamwokya by unidentified operatives.
The allegation was made by National Unity Platform (NUP) Secretary General and former MP Kampala Central aspirant, David Lewis Rubongoya, who claimed that Natumanya was forcefully taken in what he described as a swift, drone-assisted operation.
NinyeTabz is widely recognized for his investigative reporting, political exposés, and outspoken advocacy on human rights and governance issues. The opposition-aligned content creator has built a strong online presence, attracting more than 110,000 followers on X, where he frequently discusses accountability, social justice, and national affairs.
The reported abduction has sparked concern among journalists, opposition supporters, and human rights defenders, many of whom are demanding answers regarding his whereabouts and safety.
As calls for accountability grow, the incident is likely to intensify ongoing debates about press freedom, civic space, and the protection of activists in Uganda.
As of now, there has been no official statement from security agencies regarding the allegations. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
