Uganda has arrested former deputy military chief and presidential adviser Peter Elwelu over allegations of involvement in activities aimed at destabilising the country.
Acting military spokesman Chris Magezi said Elwelu, whom he described as a “renegade” officer, was arrested on Monday evening and would be charged in court.
The arrest comes days after Uganda’s defence chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, announced that he had stripped Elwelu of his lieutenant general rank and demoted him to a private.
