Presidential hopeful and National Unity Platform ‘supreme leader’ Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has cried to the public due to police brutality that is being inflicted on him and his supporters.
This comes after Bobi Wine and his supporters were brutally teargassed and dispersed in Mbale city.
“Moments after a teargas canister was thrown inside the car in which we were travelling! Mr. Asiimwe Abraham who previously nearly blinded me with pepper spray personally threw the canister inside my car, and looked on with satisfaction as we all suffered under the weight of teargas!” reads the statement on Bobi Wine’s Facebook page.
The statement further reads that; “He used extreme, extreme force on our supporters who were peacefully marching towards the venue of our meeting. I can confidently say that the bulk of the officers are not hateful and don’t even like doing the kinds of things they do, but if you keenly observe these events, there is usually a clique of three to four people who give orders to their juniors to commit these crimes, and that small clique is never motivated by any law, but by hate and the desire to help Gen. Museveni keep a firm grip over our country which he thinks of as his empire.”
Bobi Wine will today campaign in the areas of Mayuge, Iganga and Bugiri.
