NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Two Kenyan activists were released from detention in Uganda after President Yoweri Museveni confirmed they were arrested more than a month ago and accused them of working with the opposition to unseat him in the January general election.
Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo were taken by armed men on Oct. 1, shortly after attending a rally by Museveni's most prominent challenger, the entertainer known as Bobi Wine. He claims he was cheated in the 2021 election.
The Ugandan government initially denied involvement.
Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Minister Musalia Mudavadi on Saturday said the two were released to the Kenyan ambassador after weeks of “open and constructive communication.”
The activists arrived back home on Saturday, saying they were held in a military facility guarded by Ugandan special forces under “inhumane conditions.” They did not elaborate.
In the capital Kampala, Museveni told reporters on Saturday night that any attempts to protest in the country would “end up badly,” as happened during the deadly November 2020 protests over Bobi Wine's arrest. He was later released.
“They came, they were working with Kyagulanyi’s group, (and) they are experts in riots,” Museveni said, referring to Bobi Wine's real name.
Museveni said that Kenyan officials asked him to either charge them or release them. He said any other person attempting to mislead young people in Uganda would be arrested and detained.
Museveni, 80, is seeking a seventh term in office. He has defied calls for his retirement, as critics warn that he has veered into authoritarianism with virtually no opposition, including within his governing National Resistance Movement party.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Top-ranked Indiana is headed to its first Rose Bowl in 58 years to face Oklahoma or Alabama.
The Big Ten champion Hoosiers (13-0) made a storybook transformation into a college football powerhouse over the past two seasons, and now they'll play in the most fabled venue in the sport on New Year's Day.
Indiana formally received its invitation Sunday to the 112th edition of the Granddaddy of Them All, which doubles as a College Football Playoff quarterfinal. Coach Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers will learn the identity of their blue-blood opponent after the Sooners (10-2) host the Crimson Tide (10-3) on Dec. 19 in a rematch of Oklahoma's 23-21 victory over Alabama on Nov. 15.
The announcement capped a monumental weekend for Indiana, which won its first Big Ten title since 1967 by beating defending national champion Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday night. The Hoosiers then ascended to the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 for the first time.
Indiana is headed to the Rose Bowl for only the second time. The Hoosiers' last Big Ten champions went on Jan. 1, 1968, losing to No. 1 Southern California in Pasadena.
The current Hoosiers, led by Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Fernando Mendoza, are reaching unprecedented heights under the miracle-working Cignetti. His teams have produced the first two double-digit win seasons in school history in his first two years on campus.
Oklahoma earned the right to host its first-round matchup with a solid bounce-back season under coach Brent Venables. After losing to sixth-seeded Ole Miss at home on Oct. 25, the Sooners won their final four games, beating three ranked teams — including the Crimson Tide, who gave up 17 points off three turnovers and lost in Norman despite outgaining the Sooners 406-212.
Alabama got the No. 9 CFP seed despite its three losses, including its 28-7 setback to Georgia in the SEC title game on Saturday.
