The National Unity Platform Principal Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has called on security forces to release his family's security guard Sharif Higenyi.

In a statement posted on social media on Tuesday evening, Bobi says Sharif who hails from Bududa in Eastern Uganda has been the family’s domestic security personnel for the past four years. However, the young man has been arrested each time the home is besieged by security forces.

“Almost each time they surround my home, he's been the first victim of humiliation and torture. He first came to work for us under a private security company. At the time whenever they surrounded my home, they disarmed him and took him to cells for as long as they stayed” Bobi reveals.

He added that Sharif was forced to resign from the security company he worked with following the January raid on the politician’s home ahead of the election.

“They arrested him, beat him up very badly and instructed his security company to transfer him. His crime was doing his job! This prompted him to resign because he preferred to stay at our place” said the NUP Principal. 

Sharif was Tuesday morning arrested, allegedly beaten up and bundled into a 'drone' van which Bobi says took him to an unknown destination. 

Bobi says they have checked at Kasangati police station but he is not there. “I cannot imagine what they are doing to him now, but I pray he returns alive. These are the kinds of injustices that keep us struggling” he says.

Security forces heavily deployed at Bobi Wine’s home in the wee hours of Tuesday, to stop him from heading to Kayunga district where he was meant to campaign for the NUP party candidate in the LCV chairperson elections slated for Thursday this week.
