Uganda Opposition Leader Bobi Wine Arrested Upon Return to Country
A photo posted on social media by the National Unity Platform appears to show party leader being seized by two men.
Uganda’s main opposition leader Bobi Wine has been arrested upon returning to the country from a trip abroad, according to his National Unity Platform (NUP) party.
The singer-turned-politician arrived at Entebbe International Airport on Thursday morning after a tour of several countries, including South Africa.
“Our President [Bobi Wine] picked up by regime operatives as soon as he landed at the airport,” David Lewis Rubongoya, the general secretary of the NUP, said on X, formerly Twitter.
The post was accompanied by a photo appearing to show two men seizing him by the arms on the tarmac.
There was no immediate comment by police.
Bobi Wine’s supporters had planned to accompany him en masse to his home north of the capital, Kampala, to welcome him back, but police had said such gatherings were illegal.
