Police in Kampala are on a careful hunt for Mubarak Kalenge, a senior lecturer at Kampala International University, who went missing Sunday evening.

Mubarak Kalenge, also a lawyer with Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA),had reportedly gone for coffee at Afro American restaurant in Bukoto, about seven kilometres north-east of Kampala’s central business district.

His family have taken to social media for clues. A message circulated Monday evening read: “Dear friends, Our Brother Mubraka Kalenge was kidnapped from Bukoto Afro American Restaurant at gun point at 8pm on Sunday. If you have seen him, please call this number: 0704194232, 0772460403, 0702460403 . We need your support. Kindly circulate widely. Thank you very much.”

Reports indicate that Kalenge was picked from the restaurant by strange people who sped away. But we could not independently verify these reports.

Police and Kalenge’s family are yet to offer details of the hunt so far. But The Tower Post understands that progress is being made in this investigation.
