TWO KENYAN ACTIVISTS ABDUCTED BY GUNMEN IN UGANDA

Two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, were on Wednesday October 1 2025 afternoon allegedly abducted by four armed men believed to be security officials. The two, who had joined National Unity Platform Presidential candidate Bobi Wine’s campaign trail on Tuesday, were reportedly forced into a vehicle and their phones switched off.
A friend who escaped the ordeal claims the incident is linked to their support for Bobi Wine. Videos recorded during Bobi Wine’s campaign in Kamuli District, Eastern Uganda on Tuesday clearly capture Free Kenya Movement Chairman Bob Njagi on stage alongside Uganda’s opposition leader Bobi Wine who is seeking to unseat President Yoweri Museveni.
In other clips, Njagi is seen listening keenly to Bobi Wine, and at times joining his entourage as they traversed rural areas. According to a friend who spoke to us on condition of anonymity, the activists left Kenya on Monday and drove to Uganda in the company of two Ugandans. Once in Kampala, the Ugandan companions went home, leaving the three Kenyans to link up with Bobi Wine’s campaign.
On Tuesday, they moved across Buyende and Kamuli with NUP leaders as they campaigned ahead of the 2026 presidential elections.
But by Wednesday afternoon, the mission took a darker turn. The group had stopped at a petrol station to repair their car when everything went south.
"At around 3pm there are some guys who came with a van looked to be greyish in colour, people came out with guns. They were four of them there was also a lady who was seated in front they took Bob and Oyoo Ochieng who is the secretary general of the Free Kenya Movement,” a witness recounted.
The witness, who was in their company, says he too was picked up but later released.
