“They asked me about NUP, it’s leaders, their phone numbers, my family members & their contacts!”

Bobi Wine claimed that although he had all necessary travel documents, they (Dubai airport authorities) confiscated his passport and phone.

“Am literary under arrest. Been held at the airport for almost 10 hours, being interrogated mostly about NUP!” he tweeted.

The musician turned politician is in Dubai to perform at a charity concert to assist some of the Ugandan immigrant workers.

An hour later, he tweeted saying his phone and passport had been returned to him.

“My phone and passport have now been returned. Hopefully things go as planned. Will give an update. Thanks.”

“We hope the authorities in Dubai are not trying anything ridiculous. Given the kind of questions they are asking him, this has nothing to do with immigration requirements, he’s clearly being held for political reasons.
Unacceptable!!” said NUP spokesperson Hon Joel Ssenyonyi.
