Uganda’s Army spokesman told AFP on Saturday (January 17, 2026) that claims of Opposition leader Bobi Wine being abducted by helicopter were “absurd”.

“The rumours of his so-called arrest are baseless and unfounded,” said army spokesman Chris Magezi.

Mr. Wine’s party posted on X late Friday that he was forcibly taken away in an army helicopter from his home, a day after the country’s elections.
