Singer hoping to unseat Uganda’s long-time leader was dragged from his car by police
Ugandan police have again arrested Bobi Wine, a popular singer and opposition presidential hopeful, just after he was successfully certified as a candidate in next year’s election.
Wine, who is hoping to unseat Uganda’s long-time leader, was dragged from his car by police. The local NBS Television, reporting from the scene, said the singer, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, was put into a police van amid violent scuffles between police and his supporters.
