Andrew Natumanya popularly known as Ninye Tabs, an investigative journalist, human rights and political activist, and NUP supporter, was reportedly picked up by armed men who allegedly moved in an unmarked vehicle commonly referred to as a “drone” a term used to describe unmarked security vans linked by critics to arrests and disappearances.

The National Unity Platform (NUP) has condemned this and describes as a fresh wave of “drone abductions” following the reported seizure of Ninye Tabz in Kamwokya, Kampala.

NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya and Leader of Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi have since raised concern over the incident, demanding accountability and information about Tabz’s whereabouts.

The party says the incident adds to a growing list of cases involving the alleged arrest and disappearance of its supporters, accusing security agencies of using unmarked vehicles and plain-clothed operatives in the operations.
Security agencies have previously denied allegations of unlawful abductions, maintaining that arrests carried out by state agencies are conducted according to the law.​
