Leadership -Ugandan fierce and youthful Opposition leader Bobi Wine was shot by men believed to be police men and the military.
The shooting which took place on Tuesday September 3 evening left the popular politician-cum-musician nursing the right leg wound that compelled his aides to rush him to hospital.
“This evening as our President returned from Bulindo in Kira Municipality where he had gone to check on one of our lawyers, Musisi George, the police and military under the command of one Twesigye surrounded our vehicles and started firing live bullets, teargas canisters and other projectiles. In the process, our President Bobi Wine who was clearly targeted was shot in the leg. He is currently being attended to by a team of medical doctors. This is yet another attempt on the life of our President by the Museveni regime!” a statement from Bobi Wine read in part.
Sadly, the Police statement claimed that Bobi Wine stumbled as he was getting into his vehicle and got injured a claim that Wine’s communication team has refuted.
Bobi Wine and the current President have not been in good books since the last controversial general election that saw the former protest the outcome.
