The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Amuria District Woman Member of Parliament, Maggie Etilu, has deepened after the Police Force and the Army denied that she was under their detention.
The legislator has not been seen in public since she was reportedly picked up by security operatives on May 23 in Nakasero, Kampala, shortly after visiting the residence of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Annet Among.
Some politicians from Teso, where Etilu hails, yesterday, alleged that the new lawmaker was under detention by the Special Forces Command (SFC)
Soroti East MP Moses Attan, said Etilu was being held by the government in a military facility.
He adds that individuals who had reportedly seen the MP informed him that she was in good health and being held in a home-like setting while undergoing interrogation.
According to Attan, members of the Teso Parliamentary Group (TPG) had agreed to pursue behind-the-scenes engagements aimed at securing Etilu’s release.
However, the SFC swiftly dismissed the claims.
The denial adds to growing uncertainty over Etilu’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, police say they have yet to establish whether the legislator is under arrest and where she could be detained.
