Bobi Wine, a pop star and opposition leader who lost to Museveni in the presidential election in January, has a stronghold in central Uganda. A wine whose actual name is Robert Kyagulanyi slammed the results, accusing his followers of rampant misdeeds and violence, including detentions and torture.

Police said the imprisoned suspects said they were inspired to join a group by the outcome of the election and warned several unnamed politicians over what it called plans to “bring about societal collapse and lead to an uprising or civil war.”

Wine has never supported violence and has stated that his followers should only try legal ways to restore what he believes was a stolen win.
