Bobi Wine, 11 others freed on Sh135,000 bail

Ugandan lawmaker Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has been released on bail.

Bobi was released alongside 11 others by the Gulu High court on Monday. The court martial withdrew treason charges against the legislator.

According to New Vision media, the court granted each of the 12 suspects Sh5 million bail (Ksh135,000) or a Sh10 million bond (Ksh270,000).

Kyagulanyi, a musician-turned-lawmaker, was arrested on August 13 on suspicion of involvement in the stoning of President Yoweri Museveni’s convoy.

Last week, the Ugandan government rearrested Bobi moments after he was released from a military detention centre.

He was taken to a magistrate court to face charges of unlawful possession of weapons and ammunition.

Bobi was seen shedding tears during an NBS live broadcasting.
