Ugandan police denied on Saturday allegations by opposition leader Bobi Wines party that he had been arrested by soldiers as President Yoweri Museveni closed in on a landslide re-election.
Wines National Unity Platform NUP said on Friday night an army helicopter landed in his compound in Kampala and forcibly took him away to an unknown destination. Reuters could not immediately verify the claim.
National police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke told a televised news conference that Wine was at his home and free to move.
