Police has revealed that they have credible information alluding to a planned self-kidnap of National Unity Platform – NUP Presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu after Thursday elections.

This was revealed by CP Fred Enanga while addressing journalists in a joint Security Press Conference at the Police Headquarters in Kampala on Tuesday afternoon.

“We have credible information that Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu wants to hide in one of the embassies after voting and spread propaganda that he has been kidnapped to instigate violence,” Enanga said.

“We have cautioned him,” he added.

Security forces further used the press conference to warn all candidates against continuing to vote after the deadline which is today.

“We know that campaigns end today, we don’t expect to see anyone campaigning after today,” said Luke Owoyesigire, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson.
