Political analyst Leonard Egesa was on Friday evening picked up by armed men dressed in plain clothes shortly after appearing on a talk show at Akaboozi FM on Friday night.
According to Radio One, a sister station to Akaboozi FM, the men intercepted Egesa in the station’s parking area shortly after the programme, which was hosted by Jude Bukenya.
“Political Analyst Leonard Egesa has been abducted by plain clothes gunmen in a white drone from Radio One parking after a talk show on Akaboozi FM with Jude Bukenya,” Radio One reported.
Footage released by Radio One shows four men escorting Egesa out of the radio station building towards a waiting white vehicle, commonly referred to as a drone. The men are then seen forcing him into the vehicle before driving away.
Bukenya, who hosted the programme attended by Egesa, also confirmed the incident, alleging that armed security personnel had stormed the station.
“Soldiers have stormed Akaboozi studios and picked my guest Ronald Leonard Egesa,” Bukenya said.
However, the circumstances surrounding Egesa’s reported arrest or abduction remain unclear, with authorities yet to issue an official explanation by press time.
His whereabouts remained unknown as concerns mounted over his safety.
