"If my uncle the Kabaka requests me to release my prisoner...Lukwago. I will do it," Gen Kainerugaba, who is also Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations, said in a post on X.

He added: "If no such request comes through then we will HANG Lukwago like his Boss Besigye."

The CDF also commented on former ethics minister Miria Matembe for the first time since she went missing.

"I hear there is a woman called MATEMBE. She thinks she is anything other than a very OLD, UGLY woman? I'm going to teach her the manners her many husbands should have taught her!" he posted on X.

He continued: "Matembe's time is OVER! Let her open her STUPID MOUTH ANYWHERE again!... Matembe is NOT my elder! She is an IDIOT!"
