In a formal communication referenced ULS/464/2026, the ULS Vice President Asiimwe Anthony wrote to the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), urging AIGP Tom Magambo to immediately deploy investigative resources to establish Lukwago’s whereabouts and ensure his safe return to his family.
According to the letter, Lukwago was “abducted” during an early morning invasion of his home by officers believed to be from the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF).
The society further alleged that those involved later made online statements “boasting” about the operation and “glorifying harassment” of a serving officer of the court.
The ULS expressed concern that the incident forms part of what it described as a growing pattern of attacks targeting advocates in the execution of their constitutional duties.
