Opposition stalwarts Dr. Kiiza Besigye and Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago have been arrested and detained by police in Kampala over reports that they are inciting the public to cause mayhem around the
capital city.
The opposition leaders had been summoned by police to explain why they were planning an illegal exercise of cleaning up Kampala on the planned NRM liberation day celebrations.
The opposition parties under the "For God and my Country" pressure group made their mark at a press conference held at Katonga road in Kampala.
Police says all activities of the group are illegal and therefore all plans of the opposition leaders are punishable by law. They continue to say that the group is outlawed.
Dr Besigye was picked from his Kasangati home early this morning and taken to Kiira police station. Mr Lukwago is being held at Kiira Road police station.
Others wanted by police over the same charges are Jeema party president Asuman Basalirwa and Butambala County MP, Mr Muwanga Kivumbi.
