Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, the two Kenyan activists who were held in detention in Uganda for 38 days, fell ill and spent a week in a military hospital, it can be revealed.
Upon discharge from the hospital, the duo were taken to a safe house where they stayed for three days before being moved on Thursday ahead of their release on Friday night.
Upon their arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Saturday afternoon, Mr Njagi and Mr Oyoo said that they would go for a medical check-up before revealing the extent of their ordeal.
According to Norbert Ochieng, the elder brother of Mr Oyoo, the two families had been informed several days earlier that there was a likelihood their kin would be released, although no specific date had been given.
