But this time the police are not in the compound of Mr. Besigye or toilets as it was the case last time. We have been told by the detectives that the police officers have been told to besiege Besigye’s farm in Kasangati such that he doesn’t move on foot.

When our informer visited Besigye’s home this afternoon, he saw a police vehicle registration number UP 2958 parked opposite Besigye’s home. Most of the policemen deployed around Besigye’s home dressed in civilian clothes.

The police had recently withdrawn its officers from the home of Besigye although their commander, Sam Omara told journalists during their departure that the police had left Besigye’s home just to get lunch and come back.
