Muhoozi Kainerugaba, to immediately release Edward Rogers Ssebuufu, commonly known as Eddie Mutwe, a bodyguard to the NUP president, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.

According to reports, Mutwe was taken into custody on April 26, and his whereabouts remained unknown until the Chief of Defense Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, revealed on his official X handle that Mutwe was in his private basement learning Runyankole.
