The High Court has awarded the Kampala Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago Shs50 million as compensation for the violation of his rights and freedom.

Court said that Police abused his right to freedom when he was arrested outside his home in Lungujja on December 14, 2017.

According to Court, the Shs50 million compensation was appropriate as punitive, exemplary, general damages for the psychological torture, mental anguish, and emotional stress suffered by the Applicant.

In 2017, Lukwago and a group of other city leaders had planned to hold a procession from City Hall to Constitutional Square to launch their Togibikula (don’t tamper with the Constitution) campaign against the proposed amendment of Article 102(b) to remove the Presidential age limit from the Constitution.

As he was addressing the press at his gate, Police officers allegedly grabbed his private parts and squeezed them hard, causing him excruciating pain. Lukwago screamed the now-famous “Wuuwi..wuuuwiiiii” too loud during the arrest.
