How Barbie Itungo survived Bulindo incident

The fracas broke out as Bobi Wine and his team returned from a thanksgiving event at the home of NUP lawyer George Musisi.

Clash with Police

Police say they decided to use force when Bobi Wine insisted on holding a procession.

A teargas canister is said to have exploded on his left leg, causing blunt trauma according to doctors at Nsambya Hospital.

Luckily, he suffered no bone fracture although some fragments from the canister got stuck in his leg according to Joel Ssenyonyi, the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.

On Wednesday afternoon, Bobi Wine was discharged from Nsambya Hospital to recover from his home.

Lucky Barbie

Speaking earlier at the Bulindo function, Bobi Wine said he considered travelling with his wife.

He said would have come with Barbie if he had known of the surprise that awaited him at thanksgiving.

The opposition leader said he was invited by counsel Musisi for what was supposed to be a simple family event, only to find a big crowd with scores of guests.

“When I came here I expected only five to 10 guests,” he said.

“But I was surprised to find lots of foot-soldiers on the way and here, there are so many people. I wished for a moment that I had travelled with my Barbie.”

In the hospital, Bobi Wine was joined by other leaders including Muhammad Ssegirinya pulse uganda

Following the scuffle with the Police, Bobi Wine was joined by his wife, along with opposition leaders including the ailing Kawempe North MP MP Muhammad Ssegirinya.

Other leaders extended well wishes using their social media handles.
