Salaamu Musumba Cites Fear of Abduction for Prolonged UK Stay

Proscovia Salaamu Musumba, the spokesperson for the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), has disclosed that she has remained in the United Kingdom for three months due to mounting fears over her personal safety.

According to the former Kamuli District Woman MP, her extended stay abroad is driven by concerns regarding alleged surveillance, psychological torture, and the looming threat of abduction back in Uganda.

Musumba pointed to the alarming abduction of fellow opposition figure Dr Kizza Besigye in Nairobi in November 2024 as a major turning point. She noted that her own name has repeatedly surfaced in connection with his ongoing treason case, heightening her apprehension about returning home prematurely.

Despite the challenges, Musumba maintained her strong stance regarding the opposition struggle, describing Dr Besigye as her hero and an enduring symbol of the fight for freedom in Uganda.

The politician emphasized that she will only make her journey back to the country once she receives concrete guarantees regarding her security and basic freedoms.
