Kenyans have once again taken the front seat to condemn president Yoweri Museveni for the arrest of opposition MP Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu AKA Bobi Wine.

Led by the vocal Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) under the hashtag #FreeBobiWine, they are demanding for the release of the firebrand politician who has been vocal in challenging Museveni’s rule.

34 other people who had been arrested on the same day as Bobi Wine following the chaos in Arua Town were on Thursday arraigned in court and charged with treason for their alleged role in the smashing of a rear window of a vehicle in President Yoweri Museveni’s motorcade.

Those charged include the winner of the Arua Municipality MP seat Mr. Kassiano Wadri.

BOBI WINE’S DRIVER SHOT DEAD

Mr. Kyagulanyi’s driver, Yasin Kawuma, was also shot dead in the violence that erupted in Arua with the Mp alleging that his driver was shot by the police, who were out to take him out instead.

“Police has shot my driver dead thinking they’ve shot at me. My hotel is now cordoned off by police and SFC,’’ Bobi Wine said in a tweet.

BOBI WINE TORTURED?

Bobi Wine’s family has decried that the police have denied them access to the MP and they are worried about his state.

A post that has been circulating on social media from Thursday allegedly by Bobi Wine’s lawyers, alleges that the Kyadondo Mp was brutally tortured and is in critical health, adding that he can barely walk.

The MP was on Thursday charged in the presence of only two of his lawyers, who are also MPs, Mr. Asuman Basalirwa and Mr. Medard Sseggona.

According to Uganda’s military court, he will be remanded until August 23.
