- On 9 February 2026, the Uganda Police Force (UPF) stated that it remains deployed at the residence of National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, citing national security concerns. Police confirmed that although no criminal charges have been brought against Kyagulanyi, the security deployment will continue.
Speaking during a security press briefing at Naguru Police Headquarters, police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke said Kyagulanyi is not facing any charges at present. However, he noted that police have maintained a security presence around Kyagulanyi’s home in Magere in the interest of national security.
Kyagulanyi, who was the NUP presidential candidate and runner-up in the 2026 general election, has reportedly been in hiding since 16 January, a day after casting his vote. Since then, his residence has remained under heavy security, restricting access by family members, friends, party supporters, and political leaders.
In several statements shared on his social media platforms, Kyagulanyi has claimed that his life is in danger. He has alleged that he is being targeted by Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Commander Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of President Yoweri Museveni, who has previously publicly expressed intentions to have him arrested.
Claim
A photo circulating online shows armed soldiers at a residence reported to belong to Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.
Verdict
Investigations conducted by JamiiCheck using digital verification tools have established that the image was manipulated using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Further analysis through Google Reverse Image Search indicates that the image was generated using Google AI.
In addition, the image contains inconsistencies when compared with the actual layout of Kyagulanyi’s residence, where parts of the compound are paved with tiles.
Additionally, analysis using an AI-generated content detection tool indicates that there is a 99 percent likelihood that the image was created using artificial intelligence technology.
