Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago is under preventive arrest at his home in Rubaga a Kampala suburb.

Police Monday morning blocked the Lukwago from leaving his home for work.

Lukwago was last week arrested twice and cautioned for disobeying lawful orders.

This after the Government banned opposition political gatherings as the country celebrates its Golden Jubilee.

Justice and constitutional affairs minister Kahinda Otafiire said: “The Police is stopping their gatherings to save the lives of Ugandans because their gatherings can be infiltrated by terrorists. Do they want us to have a repeat of the over 80 Ugandans who died at Lugogo and Kabalagala when we had terrorist attacks in 2010?” he asked.

Meanwhile, Police are still camped at FDC president Kizza Besigye’s home in Kasangati to prevent him from accessing the city.
