The son of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), Solomon Kampala Kyagulanyi, has sparked widespread online debate after launching a furious outburst on social media, accusing Ugandans of betrayal and indifference amid what he claims is a security crackdown on his family.
In a series of emotional posts shared on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @kampala_solomon, Solomon alleged that security forces had surrounded his family home in Magere, Wakiso District, blocking access roads and restricting movement.
He expressed fear for his mother’s safety, claiming that people at the home may have been arrested or tortured, and said he could not confirm whether she was safe.
“I have reason to believe our gate person is being tortured right now… I don’t know if my mother is alive anymore,” one of the posts read.
Solomon further accused the public of abandoning the opposition and remaining silent in the face of what he described as oppression. He said many people who previously claimed loyalty had failed to stand up when it mattered.
In his posts, he used strong and offensive language to express anger and disappointment, describing supporters as cowardly and accusing them of turning their backs on the struggle for political change.
The comments quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions online. While some users expressed sympathy and concern for the Kyagulanyi family, others criticized the tone of the messages and questioned the claims.
Solomon was responding to reports of an alleged security operation at Bobi Wine’s home in Magere on Tuesday night. Authorities have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.
