MP Ssegirinya detained on treason, inciting violence charges- police
The MP was re-arrested at Kigo prison on Monday; hours after the High Court in Kampala granted him bail on six counts, including murder, attempted murder and aiding and abetting terrorism.
“We want to inform the public that Hon Ssegirinya Muhammad has also been rearrested on fresh charges of treason and incitement to violence by the joint security task team of investigators. He has been transferred to the Special Investigations Division, in Kireka for further statement recording and action,” police spokesperson, Mr Fred Enanga said Monday evening.
His re-arrest came hours after President Museveni slammed courts of law for granting bail to murder suspects and vowed to fight it politically and legally.
In a terse address at the Benedicto Kiwanuka Memorial Lecture at High Court building in Kampala where soldiers dragged out and later killed the former Chief Justice 49 years ago, President Museveni also demanded that convicted murderers should automatically suffer death by hanging.
