The special forces command (SFC) has initiated an internal investigation into the Next Radio presenter, Agaba Mark, commonly known as Uncle Mark, allegedly his brother was tortured by the SFC team.

The allegations were unveiled by Uncle Mark through a letter posted on X, formerly Twitter. Addressed the Minister of Defense and the Veterans Affairs, and Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), and the SFC. 

“My letter to @MODVA_UPDF - SFC.

A few months ago, as the president's (@KagutaMuseveni) convoy passed through town, you stopped all vehicles and motorists— standard procedure. But among the boda men held up that day was my brother. He was rushing home after his pregnant wife called him; she had slipped in the bathroom and needed urgent help.”

Furthermore, Agaba says his brother complied with all the security measures, but parked the motorcycle and continued on foot; however, nearly at the police station, the SFC officers grabbed him, beat him, and forced him into the car boot. He concludes, saying that after 2 days, he returned home while his toenails had been removed.

In response, the Special Forces Command (SFC), through the State House, has acknowledged the allegations and committed to a full investigation.
