Boby Wine who was the National Unity Platform presidential candidate in the recent elections said that the raid was conducted by hundreds of soldiers who also ransacked the house and made away with valuables.
Hundreds of soldiers descended on our home in Magere last night. Most were dressed in SFC uniforms while others were in regular UPDF uniforms and others in plain clothes. Many of them were drunk. They came with ladders, ready to climb upstairs.

They broke our doors and forced themselves into our house. Using hammers, they hit walls, window glasses, and doors. They put my wife on gunpoint, asking her to reveal my whereabouts.

They grabbed my wife's phone, forced her to sit down, and ordered her to remove her password. She refused. They strangled her and insulted her. They forcefully removed her blouse, and took pictures!
His security guard and househelp were also assaulted by the raiders who demanded to be shown the basement.
They beat up our askari and house maid. They ordered the askari to show them where the basement is, where I was hiding. These criminals asked where my children are.
