Security
forces detained Elwelu in Soroti City on November 2, recovering 15 guns,
military fatigues, and two pickup trucks amid allegations of subversive
activities; more than 20 former soldiers linked to him were also held.
His wife,
Patricia Apolot, denied the weapons claims, saying no firearms were found
during the home search and accusing soldiers of planting them.
Gen.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba warned MP Ofwono Opondo to apologize on his knees within
seven days, but Opondo shot back that he'd be at his preferred burial site in
Mulanda-Ayago on the seventh day.
The military insists Elwelu surrendered only after being cornered, with no safety guarantees from President Museveni, as tensions highlight disputes over evidence and political interference.
