Bobi Wine produced in Gulu Court quietly, only two people allowed to see him

Kyadondo East Member of Parliament has been produced in Gulu Court Martial quietly, allowing only two people to chance at him.

The two people allowed access to the singer cum politician are; Bugiri Member of parliament and lawyer Asuman Basalirwa as well as Busiro County MP and lawyer Medard Lubega Sseggona.

“Only me and Sseggona have been allowed into court martial. We shall brief you,” Basalirwa said.

Earlier the group had reported that the army surrounded them and ordered them out of the barracks where Bobi Wine is allegedly detained.

Basalirwa and group had earlier complained being denied access to Bobi Wine.

“They are non committal on whether he is here or not. What is clear is that we have been denied access to see or speak to him,” Basalirwa told journalists outside General Court Martial in Gulu, where Kyagulanyi is meant to appear.

“They said he was here for treatment then they took him back to Arua, then they also said Court Martial will be sitting here, so we are confused,” he added.

The lawyers, legislators together with Kyagulanyi’s wife Barbara itungo Kyagulanyi will address the media later in the day.

Meanwhile, the Magistrates Court in Gulu has charged and remanded over 30 people including several Members of Parliament with treason on Thursday afternoon in regards to the chaos in Arua on Monday.

Following the chaos in Arua town that culminated into the alleged stoning of President Museveni’s convoy, a number of people were consequently arrested by security.

On Thursday, the group that included MPs Paul Mwiru, Kassiano Wadri and Gerard Karuhanga among other politicians were arraigned before the magistrates court in Gulu and treason charges read to them.

The group through their lawyers led by Medard Sseggona and Darlton Opwonya however protested against the charge brought against them by the state.

“We want to have this on record that we protest against the treason charges brought against the accused,”Opwonya told court.

The Gulu Chief Magistrate Francis Matenga Dawa however told them that the group was facing a capital offense only tried by the High Court. He remanded the group to August 30 for the mention of the case but ordered prison authorities to avail them with medical examination at a facility of their (accused) choice and cost.
