Bobi Wine is the founder of People Power, a surging political movement that campaigns to end President Yoweri Museveni’s three-decade presidency, come 2021 general elections.

Police Spokesman, Mr Fred Enanga said on Monday that Special Forces Brigade (SFC) officers arrested Mr Mukasa after he posted a video on social media that they have a plan to remove President Museveni from power before 2021.

“He posted video that was inciting violence that he had a plan to illegally remove President Museveni from power. He is now detained at SID and his file has been submitted to the Directorate of Public Prosecution for perusal,” Commissioner Enanga said in a statement.
