Opposition leader Bobi Wine was taken to a police station before being driven in a police vehicle to his home outside Kampala which was subsequently ‘surrounded by police and the military’, according to his Twitter account.
Ugandan opposition leader, Bobi Wine was briefly detained on Monday as he took part in a protest in the capital, Kampala, against the detention of his supporters, according to posts on his Twitter page.
The 39-year-old opposition leader last week called on Ugandans to “rise up peacefully and unarmed” against President Yoweri Museveni who won a sixth term in office following disputed elections in January.
Bobi Wine, who has disputed the results of the presidential election, managed to win 35 of the votes, while the incumbent president was declared the winner of the January 14 polls with 59 percent of the vote.
