kidnapped

The wife of Ugandan opposition figure Kizza Besigye says he has been kidnapped and is now being held in a military jail.

There are another four hostages who were kidnapped before 7 October, two of whom are believed to be dead.

He says he told investigators he thought Iza was trying to have him kidnapped.

When a responding Riverside County sheriff’s deputy interviewed Iza, he said that he was the one who feared being kidnapped and that he had texted his bodyguards for help.

The offences took place between 5 and 15 March 2021 - soon after the 33-year-old marketing executive was kidnapped and killed by serving Met Police officer Wayne Couzens.
