The scribe was one of the journalists deployed to cover the Arua by-election but managed to escape by a whisker when the security cracked down on media arresting his colleagues Herbert Zziwa who was reporting live the shooting of Bobi Wine’s driver, Yasin Kawuma. 

Thirty-three people including Members of Parliament have since been arrested and charged with treason. 

Kyambadde’s whereabouts remain unknown as his family and friends mount search for him.
