National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has revealed that the military has taken full control of his home in Magere, after yet another raid.
In a post on X, Bobi Wine said armed men on the Monday night forced their way into the house and are now occupying it completely.
“Last night, the military surrounding our home in Magere once again forced themselves into the house. They’re now fully occupying our entire home – inside, outside, and around it,” Bobi Wine said.
He added that his family has not been allowed to access the home to check what was destroyed or taken during the January 23 raid.
“We are still unable to assess the extent of the destruction caused to the house when they first broke it and vandalised it… Neither have we been able to take stock of what items and documents the armed men seized from the house, since none of our family members has ever been allowed to access it since the attack happened,” he wrote.
Bobi Wine has been in hiding since the general elections held on January 15, citing fears for his safety following a crackdown on his supporters and party leaders.
All his three Deputy Presidents are also affected. Muwanga Kivumbi, the Deputy President for the Buganda Region, is in custody on terrorism charges, while Lina Zedriga, the Deputy President for Northern Uganda, and Jackie Jolly Tukamushaba, the Deputy President for Western Uganda, remain missing after they were allegedly abducted by armed men
During the January 23 raid on Bobi Wine’s home in Magere, his wife, Barbie Itungo Kyagulanyi, was arrested by soldiers, a move later confirmed by the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. She was later released and has since reported being mistreated during the operation.
Barbie said she was harassed and that UPDF officers confiscated her phones, laptops, and other personal belongings from the house.
