“We have written to Inspector General of Police explaining our grievances but we haven’t got a reply yet,” he Said
Bobi said Police should keep law and order and not attacking innocent people and blocking his shows yet all those shows are cleared by police themselves.
It’s better for police to persecute me in the courts of law if it is a crime to perform at a music show instead of blocking my music concerts without clear reasons,” Bobi Wine said
“I want to ask Inspector General of Police and his deputy, why are you persecuting me, why are you attacking me, why are you infringing on my rights?” he asked.
