Bobi Wine further said the security establishment of serious acts he called “atrocities against Ugandans,” saying he would “resurface” on his own terms. Bobi Wine said he managed to escape, although his wife and other family members remain confined at the residence. Bobi Wine attributed widespread speculation about his whereabouts to a nationwide internet shutdown and the heavy security presence at his home, which he said led neighbours to believe he had been abducted.
