Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has sounded the alarm over what he describes as a direct threat to his life.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) leader claims that General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, has publicly vowed to eliminate opposition voices, fueling fears of political repression in the East African nation.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Bobi Wine revealed that his home is under surveillance by unidentified armed men dressed in civilian clothing.
He directly blamed President Museveni and his son for any potential harm that may befall him.
"Whatever happens to me, Museveni and his son are responsible. From yesterday, our home is being patrolled by strange men in civilian clothes who appear to be armed. We have information that they're after my life as threatened by Museveni’s son a few days ago," Bobi Wine wrote on X.
The musician-turned-politician also said his party headquarters were being raided, and several of his supporters had been abducted by state operatives.
"Right now, they're raiding our Party headquarters. We expect anything from the cowardly regime – BUT WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED," he asserted.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, known for his controversial and often provocative social media presence, has openly used his platform to attack critics of the government.

In a recent tweet, Muhoozi allegedly threatened to kill anyone wearing NUP colours, remarks that have sparked outrage among opposition supporters.
Bobi Wine shared screenshots of Muhoozi’s tweets, warning that the general is not merely making empty threats but has the power to act on them.
"Some people often tell us to ignore Museveni's brutal son's tweets as mere rumblings of a drunkard. The difference is that Museveni's son is the head of our military, however illegally he was gifted that position by his father. He has the capacity to follow through with these threats, and he has started already. The abductions, torture, and raids of this week are evidence of what he is capable of."
Bobi Wine urged the international community to take note of Uganda’s deteriorating political situation, describing the current regime as increasingly desperate and dangerous.
"As we continue to mobilize and urge our people to push back against these criminals, THE WORLD MUST NOT IGNORE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN UGANDA. The rogue regime, in its late evening, has gone completely mad. #FreeUganda."
Bobi Wine has long been a vocal critic of Museveni’s government, accusing it of corruption, human rights abuses, and stifling political dissent.
His accusations come amid rising tensions in Uganda, where opposition figures frequently report intimidation, harassment, and unlawful detentions.
