Fw: *DHR* UN tasks Uganda to investigate attack on Rwandans refugees

The Representative of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Uganda has asked the government of Uganda to investigate the alleged kidnap of a former bodyguard to the Rwandan President Paul Kagame.

Mohammed Abdi Adar told local media on Friday that they have requested the government to investigate circumstances under which Lt Joel Mutabazi and two other Rwandan asylum-seekers were suspiciously abducted with possible knowledge of the Ugandan Police.

Adar says though Mutabazi was rescued, two other Rwandans are still missing and the Uganda government should tell the world where the security organs were at the time of their abduction and who is responsible for them in order to kill the impunity surrounding the haunting of Rwandan asylum seekers in Uganda.

Lt Joel Mutabazi (in checked shirt) plays soccer with his former boss President Paul Kagame.

He declined to disclose their identity citing security concerns, but earlier reports show one of those missing is Innocent Kaliisa, also a former soldier in the Rwandan army, who went missing from his safe house in Kampala last week.

Lt. Joel Mutabazi, a former bodyguard of Kagame for 20 years, was allegedly kidnapped from a hotel in Kyaliwajala near Kampala. His kidnappers were described by onlookers as five armed men driving a white Ipsum registration Number UAK 551B.

A day later on Wednesday, police issued a statement saying they had received an Interpol arrest warrant from Rwanda requesting for Mutabazi to be extradited to Rwanda over charges of bank robbery.

This statement contradicted earlier comments made by the police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba saying police had received information of an alleged kidnap in Kawempe and were following up on it with investigation.

Mutabazi was released from Jinja road police station where he had been held and handed over to the Office of the Prime Minister from where he was transferred to another safe house under UNHCR protection.
