Uganda minister condemns military raid on Bobi Wine’s homeUganda’s Information Minister Chris Baryomunsi condemned a military raid on opposition leader Bobi Wine’s home last month, telling Reuters that the popstar-turned-politician had not committed any crime and was free to return there. Uganda’s military chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also Museveni’s son, denied soldiers assaulted Wine’s wife, but later said on X that they had “captured and then released” her. Kainerugaba has stated in social media posts that the military is looking for Wine, who has rejected the election results, alleging fraud. He once threatened to behead Wine and also boasted the military had killed 30 opposition supporters. Baryomunsi said Kainerugaba’s posts should be taken as “casual comments that do not reflect state policy and state decisions.”
