By the time of filing this story, Bobi had been transferred from Kampala Central Police Station to his home in Magere, a Kampala surbub under tight security.
The development comes after Hon. Kyagulanyi’s address last night in which he asked his supporters and fellow struggle mates that while they are in peaceful protests on behalf of their supporters allegedly abducted by the army, they should desist from any form of indiscipline and violence noting that it works better for Mr. Museveni to brutalize them.

He said, “Avoid maligning and tainting characters and personalities within the struggle. Discipline must be exercised at all levels. (https://www.pyramidtimesystems.com/) Once we ain’t disciplined, it works for the dictator. All those practicing this MUST STOP.”
In the same night, President Museveni also addressed Ugandans and trashed Kyagulanyi’s accusations of government for abducting his supporters saying that everything is done under the law and should not be a big issue to discuss adding that those ‘arrested’ are criminals who work under Kyagulanyi orders to destabilize Uganda.
