Msanii na kiongozi wa upinzani nchini Uganda, Boby Wine, apigwa risasi ya miguu akiwa katika hali ya vuta n'kuvute na polisi katika kijiji cha Bulindo nchini Uganda. Hivi sasa kiongozi huyo amekimbizwa hospitali kwa ajili ya matibabu.
Mwendesha ukarasa wa mtandao wa 'X' wa Boby Wine ametangaza kuwa polisi walimpiga msanii huyo risasi ya mguu.
Mpaka sasa hakuna taarifa yoyote iliyotolewa na polisi kuhusu tukio hilo.
Ugandan opposition figure Bobi Wine has been shot in the leg in a confrontation with police just outside the capital Kampala, his opposition group said.
Photos posted online showed Mr Wine surrounded by followers who shouted that he had been shot in the leg before some supported him into a waiting car.
His party, the National Unity Platform, holds the most seats of any opposition group in the national assembly.
He was shot in the leg and seriously injured in Bulindo, Wakiso District
National Unity Platform
The party said on X that Ugandan security operatives “have made an attempt on the life of” Mr Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.
“He was shot in the leg and seriously injured in Bulindo, Wakiso District,” it said, referring to a town on the outskirts of the Ugandan capital.
Street confrontations between Mr Wine and the police have frequently descended into violence, but this is the first time he has been wounded in such a way.
There was no immediate comment from the police and other authorities.
Mr Wine ran for president in 2021, losing to President Yoweri Museveni in an election he claimed was rigged against him.
