 Kenyan activists abducted in Uganda freed after five weeks


Two Kenyan activists who were abducted in neighbouring Uganda five weeks ago have been released and are set to be reunited with their families, Kenya’s foreign minister said


Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo were abducted by armed men in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, on October 1, 2025, minister Musalia Mudavadi said.


Legal and rights groups said the men travelled to the neighbouring East African nation to support Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine, who intends to run against incumbent Yoweri Museveni in elections next year.


Their release followed “open and constructive communication” between the two countries, the Kenyan minister said, although the Ugandan police in the past denied either activist was in custody.


Escorted to border


The activists were handed over to the Kenyan ambassador in Uganda, who escorted them to the border town of Busia and transferred them to local Kenyan officials.


"Arrangements have been finalized to ensure the two Kenyans reunite safely with their families," Mudavadi said.


“The government of Kenya expresses its deep appreciation to the government of Uganda for the cooperation extended throughout this process, and to our diplomatic team in Kampala for their vigilance, commitment, and professionalism.”


In a brief joint statement on X, rights groups expressed thanks to the foreign ministries, and active citizens who "tirelessly campaigned for this moment".


Rights groups and the men's families in Kenya had agitated for their return, appealing to the Uganda court and urging the government to disclose their whereabouts.
