“It’s NUP That Abducted Us And Forced Us To Accuse Museveni” Alleged Torture Victim Reveals , Apologizes To Museveni
Today marked the 38th anniversary of the National Resistance Movement’s (NRM) rise to power. The NRA took control of Kampala, overthrowing the incumbent government and solidifying its authority.
Despite holding elections, the opposition accuses Museveni of stealing their victories.The NRM Liberation Day festivities unfolded at St. John’s Wakitaka SS playground in Jinja City, Northern Division, with prominent government and NRM figures in attendance. The event centered on the theme “Building a Country We All Cherish.”
In a surprising turn, a man named Moses Simbwa confessed during the celebration, admitting to fabricating claims of government torture orchestrated by the opposition. Simbwa went ahead and even apologized to Museveni for lying about his government.
“I am here mama [Milly Babalanda] brought me, i had spent three years in hiding but in the long run my foot was rotting and i decided to come to say the truth and you forgive me. Mr president, these guys of the opposition, they use us like rebels. Mr president i will tell you everything if you grant me audience to speak to you”-Simbwa says as Museveni is seen clapping for him.
“I am the youth who was paraded and to be taken across the world to testify that Museveni government tortures people. I will also testify because i know everything that the people in opposition do. I also ask security which will help me to keep me because what am saying even journalists are seeing these things and i don’t know what’s next, if this is my WILL, let it be because when we come to you and say these things, the guys on opposition kill us and they claim government has killed us. So Mr. President the drones you see which abduct Ugandans are operated by opposition”-Simbwa further says.
Addressing the audience, Museveni affirmed his awareness of Simbwa’s revelations and vowed to expose the nefarious activities of the so-called opposition. He condemned their collaboration with foreign entities to undermine Uganda’s sovereignty.
“We are aware of these deceitful acts orchestrated by bogus opposition groups. They conspire with foreign powers to manipulate Uganda, but they underestimate the strength of the NRM,” he declared.
This revelation echoes previous instances where alleged torture victims recanted their accusations against the government. In March 2023, a victim initially claimed abduction and torture by the army but later retracted his statement, attributing the ordeal to the opposition.
Despite these revelations, no arrests have been made, leaving doubts about the accountability of those involved.
