Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine said soldiers raided his home, assaulting his wife and sending her to hospital, deepening post-election turmoil.
Wine said troops stormed his residence in Kampala’s Magere suburb overnight, breaking doors, beating staff, and spreading fear through the compound.
He said his wife, Barbara Kyagulanyi, was held at gunpoint, partially undressed, choked, and forced to surrender her phone during the raid.
Wine said she was later rushed to hospital, where she remains admitted, shaken and injured after the violent confrontation.
The pop star-turned-politician was not home during the raid and remains in hiding after escaping a similar operation last week.
Ugandan military spokesperson Chris Magezi could not immediately be reached for comment on the allegations.
President Yoweri Museveni, 81, was declared election winner with 71.6 percent, while Wine placed second with 24 percent.
Wine rejected the results, alleging widespread fraud including ballot stuffing and intimidation during the January 15 presidential vote.
Army chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Museveni’s son, has demanded Wine surrender, warning he would otherwise be treated as a rebel.
Kainerugaba also claimed authorities killed 30 supporters and detained 2,000 others, though Wine has not been charged with any crime.
Wine said soldiers seized money, documents and electronic devices, leaving his home ransacked like a battlefield after a night storm.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern over arrests and violence involving opposition figures and their supporters.
Rights groups accuse Museveni of using the military to retain power, while ruling party officials insist his longevity reflects popular support.
