Our team has just finished assessing what has been stolen in broad daylight. Been informed that most of our forms with signatures for nominations have been taken away! They have also taken 23M ugx part of which was meant to facilitate our MP candidates with nomination fees.
They have also taken so many of our branding materials including posters, banners, berets, t-shirts, pens, notebooks, etc. Our CCTV cameras have been vandalised and equipment taken away. Some comrades have been arrested and most are being held at Kira Road police station.
I have also been informed that so many of our people who are selling NUP branding materials in town are being arrested with reckless abandon.
Instead of weakening us comrades, let these actions strengthen us and increase our resolve.
Seeing the hundreds of soldiers and police officers deployed today is evidence that the dictator is so scared of us. We are not giving up. We are not giving in and shall overcome. #PeoplePower_OurPower #NUP_EveryWhere

I've seen gross pictures of a young man who was allegedly attacked by unknown people, hit on the head & had his hands nailed! According to a statement released by police, the 21 year old victim is called Kasumba Baker, resident of Kawempe.
If this is true, we condemn it in the strongest terms. @KagutaMuseveni & his regime got power by using extreme violence on our people & have sustained themselves in power through extreme violence.
As citizens of Uganda, no matter how much we get provoked by this regime, we must not fall into the trap of resorting to violence, because as the history of our country has showed us, violence only leads to more violence and the cycle never ends.
Friends,
The situation at One Love Beach is tense. It has been turned into a war zone. As if the raid last night was not enough, this morning they blocked the roads leading to the Beach and announced that our Boxing Day show is off. [THREAD]
Our fans who had started gathering have been dispersed with tear gas and water cannons. As I said, yesterday they did the same thing and disrupted two concerts at which I was meant to perform.
Up to now, we have not been given any official reason as to why the show was blocked, because we wrote to police long ago and complied with all legal requirements.
