Police in Naguru have arrested one of the leaders of the youth pressure group Jobless Brotherhood, Augustine Ojobile.
Ojobile, who is also the FDC Youth League spokesperson for the Eastern region was arrested and detained while camping at the Police Headquarters in Naguru in protest.
The youth leader was apparently calling for the resignation of the Inspector General of Police Gen Kale Kayihura, owing to the increase in police brutality.
The Jobless Brotherhood and other sections of the opposition launched a call for Kayihura’s resignation in the wake of his defense of police’s brutal handling of Col Dr Kizza Besigye supporters recently.
Ojobile this morning camped at the Police headquarters, saying that had chosen to sacrifice himself for all Ugandans that suffered police brutality.
He was briefly detained at the Police Headquarters on the orders of Naguru Police DPC, SP. Moses Osega Eliau before being transferred to Jinja Road Police Station.
