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.”
