Peter Elwelu, once one of Uganda's most powerful military figures, is now in custody. The former deputy military chief and presidential adviser was arrested over allegations that he was involved in activities aimed at destabilising the country.
Elwelu's arrest is significant given how close to the top he once sat. Serving as both a senior military commander and a presidential adviser, he had access to the kind of power and information that makes such allegations all the more serious.
Details beyond the arrest remain limited for now, but Uganda watchers will be paying close attention to what comes next.
