Police has explained why drone vans used to kidnap Ugandans are always numberless.
“When drone vans are being imported, they come with very small number plates that always fall off on the way,” said Lawrence Niwabiine, Head of Kampala Traffic Police.
Niwabiine was addressing press Monday at Uganda Media Centre.
“That’s why some of them have no number plates only though the media tends to blow it out of proportion,” he added.
He said when they are going to car bonds, people think they are security vehicles yet they are units imported to this country,”
“These Toyota Hiace baptized drones (because of their speed) are new in this country. So when they are imported, they come with funny small plates. Now at times those small plates fall off and you see them moving on the highway.”
He went on: “No wonder many of your complaints refer to the highways where these drones are and when they reach at the city center, they move to different city bonds. When they are going to these bonds, you think they are security vehicles yet they are units imported to this country.”
He said the law does not allow a person to drive a numberless vehicle in town and in case one is coming from somewhere and the number plate falls down, one must quickly go to the nearest police station and report.
“Police will give you permission that you must proceed to the licencing officer and process a new number plate and that one take a short time.”
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Gen Jeje Odongo, admitted that security operatives have been using drones in the alleged kidnap and torture of a number of Ugandans.
But President Museveni denied alleged abductions and disappearances saying that cannot happen under the NRM regime.
