Barbie Kyagulanyi, the stunning wife of presidential candidate Bobi Wine has made her first public appearance and statement ever since her man’s arrest.
This week on Tuesday, Bobi was arrested by Police while holding a political rally in Luuka district.
He and some of his close associates were forcefully uprooted from their vehicle, bundled in a standby police Van which drove off to Nalufenya Police post in Jinja. The NUP party president and presidential flag bearer has now spent days behind police bars.
In a phone interview with BBC, Barbie lamented how she has been denied access to at least set her eyes on Bobi Wine.
“First of all i will call out to the Police and security agencies who have denied us the chance to have access to him. I cannot see him…i have not seen him and the lawyers. So we do not the condition in which he is”, Barbie explains before fussing;
“No body is talking to us…they keep bouncing our lawyers from one office to another so we just don’t know where to proceed to next. Am strongly worried for his safety because this has happened before. Me and him have always held discussions they have been about doing the best we can to represent our people and their thoughts. I barely slept…the whole of Uganda especially in major towns, there were uprisings, riots, and strikes. Tires and other things were burnt after his arrest”, she fussed.
Barbie has already arrived at Iganga Chief Magistrate’s Court for Bobi’s case mentioning. However still unclear whether he will be virtually or physically appearing in court.
