President Yoweri Museveni has reportedly removed Stephen Nuwagaba from State House and withdrawn his security privileges following an investigation by the Chieftaincy of Defence Intelligence and Security (CDIS).
The investigation allegedly exposed false claims about Nuwagaba’s credentials and his account of torture, raising questions about how he gained access to top security circles and influenced decisions affecting security personnel.
Veteran journalist Andrew Mwenda, whose The Independent newspaper previously investigated the matter, says he advised Museveni about what he described as Nuwagaba’s lies. He has welcomed the reported decision and called for officers dismissed over the controversy to be reinstated.
Mwenda has also demanded the release of Capt. Amis Ainebyona, who has reportedly spent more than two years in detention over allegations of torturing Nuwagaba.
The controversy has raised questions about the evidence presented to senior security officials and the fate of personnel affected by the allegations.
However, the reported findings and Museveni’s latest decision have not been independently confirmed through an official public statement.
After a thorough investigation led by the Chieftaincy of Defense Intelligence and Security, President Yoweri Museveni has decided to remove the notorious liar and fraudster, Stephen Nuwagaba, from state house Nakasero. He has also stripped him of the security detail he had been given by former commander of SFC, David Mugisha (Biddie): two presidential jeeps, a section of SFC guards plus a pistol and rifle.
The CDIS investigation confirmed all the details The Independent newspaper had written about Nuwagaba. The president was shocked to discover that Nuwagaba was neither a cyber security expert nor a victim of torture as he had claimed. Instead, the president found out, the guy is an extortionist using lies and fabrications to spread confusion and mayhem.
Nuwagaba, through his lies, distortions and misinformation caused the sacking of many loyal and diligent officers from state house and the SFC. I appeal to the president to reassess these staff and reinstate them to their jobs. I also appeal to the president to cause the release of Capt Amis Ainebyona who has been in jail for more than two years on false allegations of torturing Nuwagaba.
As a senior citizen of this country, I want to thank the president unreservedly for this bold and decisive step. I also want to thank him for calling me to explain to him the background of Nuwagaba and his lies and distortions.
