National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has condemned a raid on their head offices by the Special Command Forces (SFC).

"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!" Bobi Wine posted on X on Friday, May 2.

The opposition party had planned a gathering for Eddie Mutwe, who is currently under detention.

"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!" Wine shared in his post.

Twiine, a Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) officer at Parliament for three years, had on May 12 accompanied a parliamentary committee to Mbarara but returned to Kampala on May 13 after a summons for a meeting with Inspector General of Police Abas Byakagaba and Deputy James Ochaya on May 14.

He continued, "Eddie represents more than himself. He represents all of us who dare to dream of a just and free country. 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!"

Wine called on Ugandans to join a solidarity gathering, saying, "Please join us today, 2:00pm at Makerere - Kavule for a Solidarity Gathering. This is a non-partisan opportunity to unite. Friends of Eddie and other Ugandans of good conscience, let us come together in solidarity not just with Eddie but all political prisoners!"

The detention of Eddie Mutwe, which was revealed by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of Defence Forces, on Thursday night, May 1, has further sparked tensions within the country.
