BREAKING!! Videos & Photos That Were Claimed To Show Besigye Training Rebels In Zambia & Kenya have Been Found Out To Be Fake, Museveni Allegedly Left Emotional

President Yoweri Museveni is said to be deeply angered after discovering that the recent arrest of opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye in Nairobi may have been based on fabricated intelligence. Sources close to State House reveal that the president feels misled by top security officials who allegedly staged the operation to serve their personal interests.
Besigye and his aide, Abed Lutale, were apprehended in what was described as a coordinated security effort, allegedly tied to links with foreign rebel groups and an arms dealer. But fresh investigations now suggest that the operation lacked credible evidence and may have been a deliberate setup.
The individual reportedly identified as Besigye’s arms contact—a European national—has since vanished, raising further suspicion. Moreover, videos and photos that supposedly showed Besigye training rebels in Kenya and Zambia have been exposed as doctored.
Adding to the embarrassment, British businessman David Greenhalgh, who was initially linked to the alleged plot, has publicly denied involvement and refused any cooperation due to legal and diplomatic concerns.
The situation has triggered a major backlash within Uganda’s intelligence community. President Museveni is reportedly considering serious disciplinary action against officials within the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) and the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS), accusing them of misleading him and compromising Uganda’s credibility on the global stage.
The political consequences are delicate. Releasing Besigye could be seen as an admission of fault, weakening Museveni’s image. However, continuing to detain him without evidence risks both domestic unrest and international condemnation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Besigye has solidified his political comeback. He has officially taken the leadership of the People’s Front for Transition (PFT) and has been endorsed as their presidential candidate for the 2026 elections. Other notable opposition leaders, including Erias Lukwago and Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, had declined the role—paving the way for Besigye to lead once again.
This unfolding saga has ignited turmoil in Uganda’s security and political circles, as the country watches closely to see how President Museveni will respond to the growing scandal within his intelligence apparatus.
