In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on May 19, 2025, Uncle Mark said that officers from the Special Forces Command (SFC) beat up his brother, leading to serious injuries and the loss of his brother’s unborn child.
According to Uncle Mark, the incident happened when his brother, a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) rider, was rushing home after getting a call that his pregnant wife had fallen in the bathroom.
While hurrying to help her, the presidential convoy happened to pass by, and as required, traffic was stopped to give way.
Uncle Mark explained that his brother parked his motorcycle and started running home on foot to save time.
Sadly, that is when the tragedy began. SFC officers reportedly stopped him, accused him of disobeying convoy rules, and started beating him.
Uncle Mark said the officers locked his brother in the boot of a car and drove off. His brother was missing for two days. When he finally returned home, he had many injuries.
His toenails had been removed, and his body had bruises. During the time he was gone, his wife could not get the help she needed in time and sadly lost their baby.
Uncle Mark’s story spread quickly online and many people were shocked and angered. People demanded answers and justice for his brother and the unborn baby.
On May 20, 2025, the Ugandan government, through State House Uganda’s official X account, finally responded.
The statement said the SFC was aware of the serious claims made by Mark Agaba and had already begun a full investigation into the matter.
“The SFC has taken deliberate steps to investigate the matter to establish its full details,” the government said.
The statement also confirmed that officials had contacted Uncle Mark and asked for help to reach his injured brother. This would allow investigators to gather more facts and identify which officers were involved.
In addition, an internal investigation has begun within the SFC. The government urged anyone who saw what happened or has any information to come forward and assist with the investigations.
The SFC also promised to act if any officer is found guilty. “We are committed to finding the truth and will go to the very bottom of this matter,” the statement added.
Uncle Mark’s emotional story has touched many Ugandans. It has raised serious concerns about how security officers treat civilians. Many people are now waiting to see if the government will keep its promise and ensure justice is done.
