The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba responded to National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi, known as Bobi Wine, following a raid on their party’s headquarters by Special Command Forces (SFC).
Gen Kainerugaba’s reply came after Bobi Wine posted on X, condemning the raid.
The post read, “SFC soldiers have just raided and cordoned off our headquarters! Ugandans at home and abroad must rise up and protest against Museveni and his brutal son!”
In response, Gen Kainerugaba welcomed Bobi Wine's comments, saying, "You're welcome Kabobi! When is our boxing match?"

Bobi Wine's post also highlighted the detention of NUP member Eddie Mutwe, calling for solidarity among Ugandans.
“Eddie Mutwe is all of us. Today it is him, tomorrow it could be any one of us. Museveni's brutal son is illegally holding, torturing, and dehumanizing him while he boasts about it. He says he is teaching Eddie Runyakore!” he wrote.
Wine also emphasised the broader fight for a just and free Uganda, urging Ugandans to unite in solidarity.
"As painful as these times are, we must not despair. All Ugandans of good conscience must come together and coalesce around the values that bring us together as a people. We must renew our commitment to fight on until Uganda is free!”
A solidarity gathering for Eddie Mutwe was scheduled for 2:00 pm at Makerere-Kavule, which Bobi Wine called a “non-partisan opportunity to unite.”
