Upon his arrival, Bobi Wine was picked from the aircraft and bundled into a waiting car and whisked away by men wearing plain clothes led by security cars to his home in Magere,Wakiso District.
The immigrations have not yet clarified which form of clearances the musician turned politician has missed.Mr Simon Mundeyi ,the spokesperson of the immigrations said he wasn’t sure and he needed time to clarify from the authorities from the airport.
‘’Let me get back to you ,let me inquire from the people at the airport and see how they handled it “ Mr Mundeyi said.
When he reached his Magere home, Bobi Wine found his home surrounded by security operatives in both military and police uniforms.He gave a short briefing in the media indicating that he was not allowed even to go through immigration process.
“As we speak right now I am officially not in Uganda because I didn’t go through immigrations they picked me illegally like you saw and as we speak right now I am under house arrest because my house is surrounded by soldiers and police allover,” Mr Kyagulanyi said.
shortly after the incidents at Entebbe Airport, the Uganda Police made a statement indicating that there had not been any scuffle and that Bobi Wine had been delivered back to his home.
