Kampala, 13 November 2026 — Political and business strategist Leonard Egesa has reportedly been taken by plainclothes individuals from the parking area of Radio One FM90 in Kampala this evening, shortly after appearing on a talk show on sister station Akaboozi FM.
Radio One FM90 first reported the incident, stating that Egesa was seized by plainclothes gunmen travelling in a white vehicle commonly referred to as a “drone”. The station said the incident occurred immediately after his appearance with host Jude Bkenya and later shared surveillance footage that appears to show masked individuals moving through an entrance area of the premises.
As of late evening on 13 November, Egesa’s whereabouts remain unknown. Neither the Uganda Police Force nor other security agencies have issued a public statement confirming or denying the reports. Several media outlets and rights groups have been tagged in circulating posts calling for clarification on his location and condition.
Egesa is a regular commentator on Ugandan radio and television, where he has discussed governance, political strategy, succession politics and institutional issues. Multiple local accounts have described the incident as an abduction and linked it to wider concerns about the treatment of critical voices, although no official connection has been established.
Watchdog Uganda has sought comment from relevant authorities and will update this report as further information becomes available.
