Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has publicly challenged President Yoweri Museveni’s son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, following an order directing him to present himself at the nearest police station within 48 hours.
In a strongly worded statement, Bobi Wine accused the military leadership of orchestrating a raid on his home with the intention of harming him. According to the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader, military officers were deployed to his residence, forcing him to flee to safety.
He dismissed claims that security agencies were not pursuing him, arguing that the latest directive confirms his fears and exposes what he described as a “wicked plot” against his life.
“You ordered the military raid on my house to harm me. I beat you at your own game and escaped,” Wine said. He added that the demand for him to report to the police was an attempt to cover up embarrassment after the operation allegedly failed.

The outspoken politician maintained that he is not running away but has instead chosen to stand firm against what he termed as state-sponsored intimidation.
Bobi Wine further declared that he would resurface on his own terms, vowing to continue resisting what he called oppression by the Museveni administration.
In his message, he warned both General Muhoozi and President Museveni that they would one day face consequences for alleged atrocities committed against Ugandans.
“Make no mistake, you will never escape the inevitable consequences of your atrocities against the people of Uganda. This is our country,” he stated.
The standoff has intensified political tensions in Uganda, with human rights groups and opposition supporters expressing concern over the use of military force against political rivals.
As the 48-hour ultimatum looms, the country remains on edge, awaiting Bobi Wine’s next move and the government’s response to his defiance.
