The National Unity Platform (NUP) president Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu commonly known as Bobi Wine has embarked on profiling hundreds of his supporters allegedly kidnapped by the famous drone cars of Uganda security services.

Bobi Wine took to his social media platform to kickstart what is likely to be a full-force online campaign showing hundreds of his supporters still at the hands of their captors.

Bobi Wine who challenged Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in the 2021 presidential elections, claimed that his supporters were forcefully kidnapped from various parts of the country something Whisper Eye has reliably proved to be true.

Government is silent about the continued kidnap of opposition supporters, however, on several occasions, the parliament of Uganda has come out to demand the speedy trial of all those arrested.

The newly appointed Justice Minister Hon Norbert Mao has also made it clear that he wants the political detainees released by the government.

Where is he? , that is now trending on Twitter, former Kyadondo East Member of Parliament has so far listed dozens by the time of this article although he claims these are in hundreds.

The profiles show 1. Ddamulira John, 50 years who was abducted by armed security operatives from his shop at Kisekka Market.

According to Mr. Wine, police confirmed that they took him and President Museveni also read his name among those arrested but no one knows his whereabouts.

Ddamulira had 10 children and two wives at the time of his abduction. He was their sole bread winner! The family and our legal teams have moved all prisons looking for him. A court order for his release was issued and ignored.

  • All opposition should put aside there personal interests and unite together and say no in unison to the current regime. People like to work with opposition that is forcused on solving such kidnaps and other problems. Plz those near Bobi, let's join with others to create a common front against the junta
