You know how these post-election stories love to twist themselves into knots? Robert Kyagulanyi, better known as Bobi Wine, is once again pointing fingers at the system after nine officers assigned to protect him during the campaigns got dismissed from the force with full disgrace. He says they faced a police court, got hit with neglect of duty charges, and the big claim is they somehow helped him vanish from his own home. Two of them, including one named Kigenyi, are back in detention at Railway grounds for more questioning.
Bobi insists the officers were just behaving like proper professionals instead of turning into spies, and they had already been pulled off duty on January 15 anyway. He calls the accusations ridiculous, pointing out that the real embarrassment for the regime was failing to track him down for two whole months. By the time soldiers raided his place on the 16th, those guards were long gone, he says. Yet now everyone is hunting for someone to blame.
It is the same old script we have seen before: security people pay the price when politics gets messy. While the UPDF keeps insisting it is not chasing Bobi at all, the checkpoints around Magere stay busy and police vow to camp at his house until he returns. Whether you follow his side or not, the story reminds us how quickly loyalty turns into liability in these circles. Supporters are already rallying behind the dismissed officers, and the whole thing feels like another chapter in the long-running Ugandan security soap opera.
