Peaceful thanksgiving

According to Kituuma, Bobi Wine were intercepted on their way from Bulindo where they attended a thanksgiving event by lawyer George Musisi (Lawyer).

“Hon. Kyagulanyi participated in the celebration, which concluded peacefully,” the statement reads in part.

“When Hon. Kyagulanyi left the venue, he and his team moved out of their cars and embarked on a procession up to Bulindo town; however, the police advised against it. Despite their guidance, he insisted on proceeding and closing the road, leading to police intervention to prevent the procession.”
