The legislator was arrested on Monday after clashes between opposition and ruling party supporters on the last day of Arua Municipality by-election campaigns.

Barbie told reporters in Kampala on Wednesday that her husband is believed to be "held in a military barracks".

She said her husband is not a soldier he shouldn't be detained in a military facility.

On Tuesday, Barbie told the BBC that she last spoke to her husband while he was in hiding.
