The Police have deployed heavily at National Unity Platform Headquarters in Kamwokya ahead of the anticipated prayers in memory of their dead supporters.
Eyewitnesses say that no one is allowed to enter the premises.
“The military and police have raided and cordoned off the @NUP_Ug Head Office, Kamwokya yet again, in order to block us from holding prayers for our dead, detained and disappeared comrades,” said NUP president Bobi Wine on X
He further said; “No one is allowed to enter or leave the office. While they do this, they will shamelessly gather today to celebrate “independence” even when they behave worse than the colonialists. The cowardly regime will never have the last laugh!!”
It is worth noting that yesterday, Bobi Wine announced that instead of celebrating Independence Day, they would use the day to pray for their fallen supporters who have so far died in the struggle for change in Uganda.
“While dictator Museveni and his cronies will gather in Kitgum tomorrow to ‘celebrate independence’, we shall gather at our offices in Kamwokya to pray for our comrades killed by the regime, those who were abducted and are still missing, as well as those in illegal detention,” said Bobi Wine on X. yesterday.
