Pandemonium in Studio as Armed Men Storm Simba Radio, Drag Guest Away
KAMPALA, UGANDA — A shocking breach of media freedom and the rule of law unfolded during a live broadcast in Kampala, after masked, armed men stormed the studios of Simba Radio 97.3 FM and forcibly dragged out a featured guest mid-show.
The harrowing incident, captured on video and rapidly circulating across social media platforms, shows the abrupt interruption of the station’s popular Saturday talk show, Gasimbagane Ne Bannamawulire.
Outspoken political commentator and former intelligence officer Charles Rwomushana was seated in the studio when plainclothes operatives carrying firearms pushed past security and burst onto the set.

Without offering an arrest warrant or identifying themselves, the unidentified men seized Rwomushana.
Despite brief resistance, the political analyst was overpowered, physically grabbed, and marched out of the station into an awaiting unmarked vehicle before shocked staff and listeners.
The dramatic broadcast interruption has sparked intense public outrage and renewed concern over state-sanctioned abductions in the country.
Citizens and civil rights advocates are actively sharing the footage, questioning whether constitutional guarantees and the rule of law have broken down entirely in favor of gun rule.
Public anger continues to mount as Ugandans demand an immediate explanation from the government and law enforcement authorities.
Critics are pressing officials to answer why civilians and political commentators continue to be arrested in such violent, covert, and lawless manners—often mirroring kidnappings rather than standard police procedures.
While police have previously used plainclothes security teams for high-profile detentions, the aggressive raid on an active broadcast studio marks an alarming escalation.
Civil society groups are now calling for the immediate release or presentation of Rwomushana in a recognized court of law, demanding an end to arbitrary arrests designed to silence public discourse.
