The Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) picked Gen. David Sejusa from his posh home in Naguru city suburbs on Ntinda II road in Nakawa division, Kampala.
According to sources, the military men sealed off three routes to the general's home at about 8:30am local time. Thirty minutes later, a convoy of 15 vehicles swung in.
The motive of his arrest was still unknown and the general's home was still under security (UPDF) surveillance pending ongoing investigations.
However, Sejusa’s lawyer claims it’s because he called President Yoweri Museveni a dictator in a recent interview with NBS TV.
Sejusa told NBS Television this week that efforts to obtain political reforms in the current governance setup had not borne fruit.
“Museveni can never accept reforms. It’s a waste of time because dictatorships are never reformed; they are dismantled,” said Sejusa.
“How you wage a struggle – political or otherwise, is informed by the type of threat you face. If you are facing a political struggle, you organise politically,” added the former intelligence organs coordinator.
“If you are facing a dictatorship, you organize a resistance.”
