Man who went missing, days to his wedding, found hiding at friend’s home

Ugandan policemen at Kira Road, have found Phillip Tumwebaze Wabwire, 27, who was feared kidnapped in Kyanja last week. 

In a statement on Saturday, Police said they found the bio-informatics professional and Yellow fever researcher at his friend’s house, hiding at his friends place after he failed to raise funds for his much anticipated wedding.

Last Saturday, his family reported a case of a missing person after they said he was last seen headed to a nearby shop to buy airtime to mobilise friends to attend his wedding meeting.

Since his return, friends have started a funds drive to help him organise his wedding, this weekend, to his wife-to-be is, Mercy Twinomujuni.

This is not the first time that Wabwire is disappearing. In 2008, while a student at Makerere College School, Wabwire was allegedly kidnapped towards his UACE exams and discovered in Rwanda.
