Authorities in Karamoja declined to comment about that matter.

Bobi Wine in a social media post also condemned a recent attack on journalists and his supporters.

“It was very disturbing to see images of journalists, particularly those of NBS attacked by hooligans and their equipment stolen yesterday (Thursday) during our campaigns in Lira.

“I understand some of our supporters were also attacked by the same criminal elements. We hope the perpetrators of this brutal attack will be brought to book”

He also claimed that his party has information that authorities are planting criminal elements in his crowds
“such they can cause chaos and give NUP a bad image”.

“The attack on media is intended to scare them away so that they don’t broadcast the hunger for change all across the country. We call on our supporters to remain calm and peaceful even with these provocations. Ours is a peaceful revolution”.
