Hello

Is this selfie of Bobi Wine in front of the police taken this year, 2026?

Tunachokijua: Claim

Some social media users shared a selfie of Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) taken in front of police officers and claimed that it is a 2026 photo showing Bobi Wine taking a selfie while police were allegedly searching for him.

Verdict: Misleading

After an investigation by JamiiCheck, it was revealed that the information attached to the selfie of Bobi Wine is misleading.

Using Google reverse image search, JamiiCheck found that the image had appeared online at least two years ago.

Further investigation showed that the image was originally published by Bobi Wine himself on his X (formerly Twitter) account on January 22, 2024, with the caption:

“Naye nga tubayitamu mumagezi. Afande silwana naawe, nwanilila gwe!
Officer, I am not fighting you. I am fighting for you.”

Therefore, the image was not taken in January 2026, a period marked by heightened tension when Bobi Wine was reportedly being searched for by Ugandan military officers, following directives allegedly issued by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
