The US Embassy has said it is baffled by the continued siege by security at the home of Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, the presidential candidate for the National Unity Platform in just concluded presidential elections.
Following the 14th January election, security put a siege at the home of Kyagulanyi, who was the runners up against the incumbent, President Yoweri Museveni.
In a statement released yesterday, the embassy said the US Ambassador to Uganda, Natalie E. Brown was stopped from accessing the home as he tried to visit Kyagulanyi.
According to the embassy, Natalie’s visit was meant to check on Kyagulanyi’s health and safety but noted this was not possible after being denied access by security.
The police spokesperson, Fred Enanga yesterday said the siege at Kyagulanyi’s home will continue for an unspecified period of time as a way of preventing any form of violence that he said are being planned by certain individuals and groups of people.
