Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, widely known as Bobi Wine, has raised alarm over what he described as a military invasion of his family residence in Magere.
In a video shared on Friday evening, Bobi Wine alleged that armed security operatives were forcefully breaking into his home in search of him. He claimed the operatives were pressuring his wife to disclose his whereabouts.
“The military is breaking into our house in Magere, forcing Maama @lamBarbieKyagulanyi to surrender or disclose my whereabouts,” he wrote in the caption accompanying the video.
In the footage, his wife, Barbara Kyagulanyi, is heard questioning the presence of the security personnel inside their compound. “What do you want in our compound? What is that you want in our compound?” she repeatedly asked.
The incident has added to concerns over the treatment of opposition figures in Uganda, particularly Bobi Wine, who has faced multiple arrests, raids, and surveillance since emerging as a prominent challenger to President Yoweri Museveni.
As of the time of this report, Ugandan authorities had not released any official statement explaining the operation at the Magere residence or the reason for the reported search.
Earlier, Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, reportedly issued a directive barring Bobi Wine from further participation in Uganda’s electoral process, citing national security concerns. Kainerugaba, who is also the eldest son of President Museveni, made the declaration in a public statement attributed to him.
