Bobi Wine, a pop star turned politician whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, finished runner-up in the 2021 presidential election behind Museveni, who has ruled the East African country for nearly four decades.
The police said officers had attempted to block Wine and his team from marching down a road, resulting in an altercation where Wine sustained injuries. An investigation is being conducted to clarify the facts.
Police officers on site claim he stumbled while getting into his vehicle, causing the injury something that has been dismissed by those who were on ground. There’s even a footage making rounds on the internet clearly showing otherwise.
