Ugandan presidential candidate, Bobi Wine , has accused the army of raiding his home and arresting his security guards along with others found in the premises .
The Member of Parliament representing Kyadondo County East constituency disclosed this in a tweet shared on January 12, 2021, weeks after he was arrested.
“ The army has this morning raided my home, arrested all my security guards and anyone they could see around my premises, ” he said on his official Twitter handle .
