Uganda’s opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, is being blocked from leaving his home in what police argue is to stop him from mobilising for a march.

Wine, leader of the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) party, on Thursday was whisked away from the airport in Entebbe and driven away bypassing the local immigration authorities.
