Ugandan police have sealed off Bobi Wine’s home in the capital, Kampala, hours after saying he could not go ahead with a concert that was to coincide with the country’s independence day celebrations.
Police officers holding guns and batons parked cars and stood at the two entrances to Bobi Wine’s home and placed barricades on the road to his home and could check every vehicle that went in or out of the home.
The musician-turned-politician tweeted photos showing police vehicles surrounding his home, as well as spiked road barriers erected on a road leading to the house.
He claimed police had also sealed off his lakeside property, One Love Beach Busabala, the venue for the concert.
Authorities announced on Tuesday that Bobi Wine’s concert was cancelled because organisers had failed “to heed minimum security standards”.
