Ugandan police have been accused of trying to break into a radio station during a show with Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine. The incident which occurred over the weekend saw the singer-turned politician dragged from NBS FM in Jinja by police and ordered to leave.  Speaking to Daily Monitor, the radio station’s manager Michael Muwanguzi said that there was a heavy police presence before Bobi Wine’s arrival.  

“The police entered the newsroom and went up to the studio where we were hosting Hon Kyagulanyi but because we have security locks on the door to the studio, they could not access him,” he told the publication.
