Twiine Charles, a former spokesperson for the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and now working with the Parliament police investigations section, has mysteriously disappeared. His family says they last saw or heard from him on Wednesday afternoon.
On that day, Twiine left home early in the morning, saying he had an important appointment. He was heading to the police headquarters in Naguru to meet with the Inspector General of Police (IGP) at 7:00 am. That was the last time his family had any communication with him.
Later, they found out that his car is still parked at the police headquarters in Naguru. But there is no information about where he went after that. No one seems to know if he left the premises, or if something happened to him while still inside.
Just a few days before his disappearance, on Monday, Twiine had been in Mbarara. He was part of a Parliamentary committee trip. However, he left the trip earlier than planned. His family says he told them he had been urgently summoned to meet the IGP in Kampala on Wednesday morning. So, he traveled back to Kampala overnight on Tuesday, arriving in the city ready for the meeting.
But after Wednesday afternoon, everything went silent. His phones have been off since then. Calls go unanswered. Messages don’t go through. His family has grown more worried with each passing hour.
What’s even more confusing is that the police, where Twiine has worked for many years, haven’t given any clear answers. No one has officially explained whether he attended the meeting with the IGP, or what happened to him afterward.
Twiine Charles is not just any officer. He is a well-known face in the police force, especially because of his past role as the CID spokesperson. Many people recognize him from media briefings and high-profile investigations.
Now, his sudden disappearance is raising serious questions. Did something happen to him inside the police headquarters? Why is his car still there? Why are his phones off?
His family is calling on the police and all security agencies to urgently investigate his whereabouts. They say Twiine is a responsible man who wouldn’t just disappear without telling anyone. They are afraid something bad may have happened to him.
As the search for answers continues, many Ugandans are watching the situation closely. The mystery of Twiine Charles’ disappearance is still unfolding — and for now, it’s a story filled with fear, confusion, and unanswered questions.
