Kisekka market was already charged up to celebrate Bobi Wine’s freedom. Businesses stalled as everyone moved out on streets waiting for the opportune moment; Bobi Wine made a free man.
On seeing live broadcast courtesy of NBS TV, showing the court martial declaring Bobi Wine a free man, people erupted in joy and ululations, boda boda cyclists cruised with beeping horns, most of them carrying a passenger or two and chanting people power slogans.
“People Power, Our Power, Free Bobi Wine” were the chants the filled the air downtown and a few city suburbs for sometime paralyzing traffic.
Alas, the chanting was only short-lived, after police rearrested Bobi Wine during his freedom break. The noise died unceremoniously, and people slowly dispersed on their own to further their different businesses.
