Gutted to learn of the death of Mrs. Immaculate Onebe, whose decomposing body has been discovered in a septic tank at their home more than 7 months after she went missing. On 6 January 2021, the 63-year old was waylaid and abducted by security personnel travelling in a Toyota Hiace 'Drone' who whisked her off to an unknown location. Frantic efforts by her family to trace her yielded no fruits, although security forces eventually admitted responsibility for her abduction.


Mrs. Onebe went missing at a time when similar abductions of opposition leaders, supporters and sympathisers had become the order of the day in the run up to, and in the aftermath of the 14th January election. Dictator Museveni later published a statement taking responsibility for the abductions which he revealed were being masterminded by his private militia, the SFC, reasoning that the victims were security threats. To date, several victims are still missing; others are suffering in prisons without trial, while others have been discovered dead just like Mrs. Onebe.

I commiserate with Mrs. Onebe's family upon the gruesome murder of their loved one. One day, justice shall be done!
