President Yoweri Museveni’s son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba,has come out publicly responding to questions surrounding Uganda’s most prominent opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wine’s whereabouts.
In a statement on his official X account on Thursday, January 22, 2026, Muhoozi was responding to a tweet by Lindsey Hilsum, a Channel 4 News International Editor who had questioned him on past remarks about killing Bobi Wine.
On her part, Lindsey asked Muhoozi why he had previously stated that he wished Bobi Wine would be the twenty-third terrorist he would execute.
“Thank you for responding. My question is: why did you say that you hoped @HEBobiwine would be the 23rd “terrorist” that you killed?” Lindsey asked.
In response to Lindsey’s question, Muhoozi, while sharing past videos of Bobi Wine’s speeches, revealed that Bobi Wine had proclaimed being a terrorist and hence he will test what rebels in Uganda receive in return.
“He clearly stated how he is a terrorist. He will test what we give rebels in return,” Muhoozi said.
‘I am not free!’ – Bobi Wine
His remarks come just moments after Uganda’s most prominent opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wine came out and revealed that he is not free, while further explaining the whereabouts of his close political allies just days after the just-concluded general elections.
Taking to his official X account on Thursday, January 22, 2026, Bobi Wine explained his worry, revealing that the current regime is trying to hunt him down.
On his part, Wine has noted that his home is still under seige while three of his close allies are in detention after what he described as an abduction from their homes on a similar day.
“I am not free. My home is still under siege, and the criminal regime is trying to hunt me down. And yet, three out of my four Deputy Presidents are also in detention! My Deputy President for Northern Uganda, Dr. Lina Zedriga Waru is still missing, having been abducted from her home on 15th January,” Bobi tweeted.
Wine has further sounded an alarm that his Deputy President for Central Region, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi, was arrested on Thursday, January 22, 2026, and he is currently held at Kira Division Police.
“My Deputy President for Western Uganda, Hon. Jolly Jacklyn Tukamushaba is still missing, having been abducted from Rukiga District on 14th January. My Deputy President for Central Region, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was today arrested and he’s being currently held at Kira Division Police,” Bobi added.
“As the persecution intensifies, may be remain rooted in hope and faith, that our struggle – the Ugandan struggle – will end in victory,” Bobi explained.
