Ugandan singer turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi popularly known as Bobi Wine has revealed the painful experience he went through, in the hands of the police for the 11 days he was in custody.
He added that they did not stop there but continued hitting all parts of his body with iron objects and guns until he became unconscious.
Military detention
Bobi Wine mentioned that he was detained in several military detention facilities where he was also treated and his wounds cleaned, before he was taken to court.
“They wrapped me in a thick piece of cloth and bundled me into a vehicle. Those guys did to me unspeakable things in that vehicle! They pulled my manhood and squeezed my testicles while punching me with objects I didn’t see. They pulled off my shoes and took my wallet, phone and the money I had. As soon as the shoes were off, they started hitting my ankles with pistol butts. I groaned in pain and they ordered me to stop making noise for them. They used something like pliers to pull my ears. Some guy unwrapped me and instead tied the thick cloth around my head. They forced my head below the car seat so as to stop me from shouting. Then they hit my back and continued to hit my genitals with objects. The marks on my back, ankles, elbows, legs and head are still visible. I continued to groan in pain and the last I heard was someone hit me at the back of the head with an object - I think a gun butt or something. That was the last time I knew what was going on,” read part of Bobi Wine’s more than 3600-word dossier.
