Bobi Wine was arrested due to illegal possession of fire arms, and inciting violence. He was detained by Police and transferred to Gulu town. While in detention, he was allegedly beaten and tortured. This led to discontent among his supporters and sympathizers who staged a number of riots and demonstrations that spread to different parts of Kampala city and the world demanding that Bobi Wine be freed using the slogans , “FreeBobiWine” and “PeoplePowerOurPower.”

On  23 August 2018, the state dropped the charges of possession of fire arms against Robert Kyagulanyi in the court Martial and he was handed over to the civilian court to be tried for Treason. He was remanded to return to court on the 30 August 2018. However, Robert Kyagulanyi’s lawyers did their best towards his bail application and on 27 August 2018, he was released on bond. From the court cells, Robert Kyagulanyi was taken in an ambulance for medical attention. But he together with other suspects are expected to appear before court on 30th August 2018.
