Bobi Wine disclosed the development in a video shared on Friday evening, alleging that armed security operatives were forcefully breaking into his home in search of him.
Ugandan opposition leader, Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has raised the alarm over what he described as a military invasion of his family residence in Magere.
Bobi Wine disclosed the development in a video shared on Friday evening, alleging that armed security operatives were forcefully breaking into his home in search of him.
“The military is breaking into our house in Magere, forcing Maama @lamBarbieKyagulanyi, to surrender or disclose my whereabouts,” Bobi Wine wrote in the caption accompanying the video.
In the footage, his wife, Barbara Kyagulanyi, could be heard confronting the security operatives as they moved within the compound.
“What do you want in our compound? What is that you want in our compound?” she repeatedly asked the men.
The incident adds to growing concerns over the continued harassment and intimidation of opposition figures in Uganda, particularly Bobi Wine, who has faced repeated arrests, raids, and surveillance by security forces since emerging as a major challenger to President Yoweri Museveni’s long rule.
As of the time of filing this report, Ugandan authorities had not issued any official statement explaining the operation at the Magere residence or the reason for the reported search.
Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Muhoozi Kainerugaba earlier issued a controversial directive banning Bobi Wine, from further participation in Uganda’s electoral process, citing national security concerns.
Kainerugaba, who is also the eldest son of President Yoweri Museveni, made the declaration in a public statement attributed to him, asserting his authority as head of the armed forces.
