On Monday, Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago filed a petition for the release of the opposition leaders, and they were expected to appear before the Nakifuma court as per Magistrate Sylvia Nvanungi’s directive on Tuesday.
However, when Lukwago tried to deliver the magistrates directive to the Nagalama Police DPC Jessica Naawe, she ignored it and refused to receive it.
