Mutwe had been reported missing since Sunday evening after he was allegedly abducted by unidentified individuals in both civilian clothes and military fatigues from Kiwango trading centre in Mukono Municipality.
“He is in my basement. Learning Runyankore. You [Bobi Wine] are next!” Muhoozi wrote in one of several posts, some of which appeared to mock Mutwe and made references to tribal affiliations, language lessons, and physical appearance.
“I captured NUP’s military commander like a grasshopper (Nsenene). If they keep on provoking us, we shall discipline them even more.”
Mutwe was kidnapped by men dressed in civilian wear and military fatigue on Sunday evening at Kiwango trading centre, Goma Division, Mukono municipality. Mutwe and others had held a meeting at Namweezi village, a stone’s throw from Kiwango trading centre, from where he was captured.
Kyagulanyi later took to his social media accounts and demanded his immediate release.
“Eddie is looking very smart these days. The boys have tuned him well. He salutes Mzee’s picture every day before breakfast…I can’t release Eddie now. It will be unfair to me and him. He is learning Runyankore and we are both training for Kabobi,” Muhoozi said.
“If you see Eddie’s head now he looks like an egg. Totally clean. The beards were the first thing the boys removed. After he finished crying and urinating,” added Muhoozi who further threatened to castrate Mutwe.
“Next is Kabobi! I have never joked in my life. I don’t know why people think my tweets are jokes.”
The development comes shortly after Muhoozi’s recent restructuring within the UPDF’s intelligence wing, where Maj Gen James Birungi was replaced by Maj Gen Richard Otto as head of the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI).

Edward Ssebuufu, aka Eddie Mutwe and the personal bodyguard to National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi, has been formally charged with six counts of robbery and assault by the Masaka Magistrate’s court.
Mutwe was abducted by security operatives from Mukono district on April 27, 2025, and held incommunicado for several days. His detention was only acknowledged last week by Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who admitted Mutwe was being held in his basement.
On Monday, Mutwe was presented before the court under tight security, escorted by plain-clothed armed operatives driving a white Toyota Hiace commonly referred to as a “drone.”
He appeared in court limping, dressed in a dark blue shirt and black jeans folded up to the knees, supported by two men. Masaka grade one magistrate Abudallah Kayiza read out six charges of aggravated robbery, robbery, and assault which are alleged to have taken place in May 2024 during the burial of UK-based businessman Pascal Ssekasamba at Manja village in Kisekka sub-county, Lwengo district.
Mutwe was taken into the magistrate’s chambers for a closed-door session attended only by his lawyer Magellan Kazibwe and state attorney Michael Wakosesa where charges were read to him.
According to the charge sheet, Mutwe will be tried alongside three other members of Kyagulanyi’s security team; Achilleo Kivumbi, Grace Wakabi alias Smart-wa-Bobi, and Gadafi Mugumya who were charged in February and are currently on remand at Masaka Central Prison.
The group is accused of assaulting journalists during the burial, including damaging a video camera belonging to Zainabu Namusaazi of Next Media Group and destroying a smartphone belonging to Radio Simba correspondent Margret Kayondo.
They also face accusations of stealing two smartphones, robbing Shs 200,000, and causing grievous bodily harm to three individuals allegedly using sharp bayonets. State attorney Wakosesa noted that additional suspects are still at large and will be charged jointly once apprehended.
Magistrate Kayiza remanded Mutwe to Masaka Central Prison until May 25, 2025, when court will review the progress of investigations. Mutwe’s legal team has indicated plans to petition the court to allow the suspect access to medical care pending prosecution.
