The party’s president Hon Patrick Amuriat Oboi added that Owani was returning from a talkshow on Radio Rupiny at night.

Oboi further added that they suspect he was kidnapped by the ‘usual suspect’ who fears the strength of the FDC in this particular election.

He was on his way back to Omoro from a Rupiny radio talk show in Gulu at 8:30pm when this happened. We highly suspect this to be the handwork of the usual suspect fearing the strength of @FDCOfficial1 in this particular by election. https://t.co/ZgM3sVhJ8S
