Buganda Kingdom Chiefs (Abataka) Return After Failed Attempt to Meet Ailing Kabaka

Based on the video clips cited by this website, we are here to inform you that the Buganda Kingdom Chiefs (Abataka) who traveled to Nambia recently to visit the ailing Kabaka Ronald Mwenda Mutebi II touched down at the Entebbe Airport. 

The Abataka returned to the country after their failed attempt to visit the Kabaka whom they had gone to confirm and examine what exactly is his illness. 

This is after they were first put in a preventitive arrest and later released without being able to see the Kabaka. Their travel to Nambia to check on the Kabaka was sparked by a video of Kabaka that aired on set portraying Kabaka reading a message to his subjects that many believed that it was a doctored video. 

The video aired following the constant pressure that was put on the Buganda Prime Minister Katikiro Owke. Charles Peter Mayiga demanding that they needed to get an update concerning the well-being of the Kabaka.
