Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has condemned the detention of former Kampala Lord Mayor and senior lawyer Erias Lukwago after General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of President Yoweri Museveni, shared a photograph appearing to show the lawyer blindfolded and handcuffed in custody.
The development came barely hours after Bobi Wine alleged that military operatives abducted Lukwago from his residence in Wakaliga, Kampala, as he prepared to serve court summons on Muhoozi over an ongoing legal dispute.
In a fresh statement posted on X on Monday, Bobi Wine accused the Ugandan military establishment of escalating political repression and targeting legal practitioners involved in cases against the government and senior security officials.
"Uganda in 2026! Museveni's son just released a picture of his captive, Advocate Erias Lukwago. Blindfolded! His crime? Attempting to serve him court summons!" Bobi Wine wrote.
"If he can do this to an outgoing Lord Mayor of Uganda's capital city, former MP, and senior lawyer, imagine what he does to our ordinary supporters who are abducted day in, day out."
