Mityana Municipality Legislator Francis Zaake who is fighting for his life in Rubaga Hospital has ruled out the possibility of producing children again following the grave torture subjected to him by operatives of Military Intelligence at Mbuya.
Zaake, was speaking to the media for the first time since his arrest on April 19 from his constituency for distributing food contrary to President Yoweri Kaguta’s guidelines on COVID-19.
An emotional Zaake who at one point had been announced dead while at Kiruddu Hospital broke down revealing the inhuman torture unleashed to him by the merciless regime agents who kept mocking him for supporting Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine as the next President of Uganda.
Zaake told the media that, “I was never arrested for distribution of food.”
He said that while blindfolded he was clobbered countless times until his body stopped feeling. “I cried until I lost a voice and my skin couldn’t feel anything.”
Zaake alleges that his tormentors questioned his alliance with Bobi Wine well knowing that, “Uganda has its owners. I have never experienced tribal sentiments like that day.”
He said that a few hours later, the operatives returned and started hitting his other parts of the body including his testicles. “Will I have children again?”
Zaake said his crime according to operatives was to appeal to the Kabaka of Buganda and his Katikiro Peter Mayiga to add a voice and condemn the deaths of two people power supporters; Dan Kyeyune and Ritah Nabukenya.
He claimed that, “I was told to say I will never oppose President Museveni, his wife Janet and their son Muhoozi.”
“I was warned he day I do, that will be my end.”
Zaake said he was later transferred to SIU police facility in Kireka until he was taken to court.
But he also warned the regime that no amount of violence meted out to him will threaten his stance for change in Uganda.
UPDF spokesperson Brig. Richard Karemire however dismissed Zaake’s allegations as untrue saying he has never been detained by Military Intelligence.
“He has never been in our hands,” he said.
