  • This is the second time within a week that Wine is being hounded out of Jinja.
  • Prior to Wine's arrival, security was beefed up at the station.
  • Police did not interfere with the talk show and Wine's supporters until the programme ended.

Police and Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) soldiers on Saturday battled supporters of Kyandondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, as he was being led out of Jinja town.

The presidential aspirant had just been hosted on a radio station owned by Jinja West MP Moses Grace Balyeku, located at the Busoga Kingdom headquarters in Bugembe Town Council.
