Nakaseke, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Three members of the family of former Minister Al-Haji Abdul Nadduli, have allegedly been kidnapped in Nakaseke district. Morton Kasobya, a friend to the affected members of Nadduli’s family identifies them as Meddie Nadduli, Musa Nadduli, and Yusuf Nadduli.

According to Kasobya, he recieved a phone call on Monday night informing him about the trio’s kidnap from Kalege village, Semuto sub county.

Patrick Lule, the acting Savannah region police spokesman also confirmed learning about the alleged kidnap. He told URN that he was still looking for Nakaseke District Police Commander (DPC) to brief him more.

The development comes about two weeks after Al-Haji Abdul Nadduli lost his son, Jakana Sulaiman Nadduli following a similar kidnap shortly after undergoing surgery following a nasty accident. He was laid to rest at his ancestral home in Kaddunda village, Kapeeka sub-county, Nakaseke district.

Jakana, 37, died at his home as his family was planning to rush him to Orient clinic in Wobulenzi town for treatment after experiencing severe pain in the stomach. Nadduli blamed the death of his son on his arrest shortly after undergoing an operation at Nsambya hospital following a nasty accident.

He told journalists that his son complained of torture while in detention despite the fact that he was recuperating from the surgery.
