Breaking News; Security Operatives “fetch” New Vision’s Charles Etukuri over ‘propaganda’ articles

The news of Etukuri’s hurried “picking” was broken by the New Vision’s Social media page. “Security operatives abduct Vision Group journalist Charles Etukuri, from New Vision head office. He was picked by operatives dressed in military fatigue. It is suspected that the abduction is related to stories that he had done recently,” the New Vision relayed

Etukuri had earlier wrote in his article that Police was investigating circumstances under which a Finnish tycoon, Tuomas Terasvuori Juha Patteri had died at a city hotel last week.

Quoting Suvi Linden, who travelled with the deceased, Etukuri indicated that while security agencies said Patteri had died from drugs-related issues, there was more than meets the eye.

The report indicated that Patteri had died a day after he was arrested on arrival at Entebbe by officers of Internal Security Organisation (ISO) led by the Director of Operations Joel Agaba.

The report also opened the lead for a possible motive, indicating that a number of ISO operatives had been implicated in “forgeries that led to the arrest of the tycoon,”

This will not be the first time a journalist is arrested for penning articles that are deemed “inciteful,malicious laced with propaganda”.

However, fellow journalists who talked to this website said Etukuri “will be out” soon since he is close to top bosses in the Police Force adding that they always believed the Investigative Journalist had top connections with senior security officials.
