On learning of the developments, People Power’s main man Bobi Wine made a statement in regret to what the youths had done to
Bobi however maintained that People Power is a non-violent movement which condones acts of violence against anyone.
He also left a statement of doubt saying that it could have been staged by the State to paint a bad picture around his movement;
” we are still trying to establish clear facts surrounding the incident. Those who have followed the politics of this country will understand that such stunts and machinations have in the past been stage-managed by the state and some other actors to achieve political objectives. Therefore, we are yet to come to a conclusion after fully investigating the incident. Should we find that some of the people involved genuinely belong to #People_Power, we shall take measures to fully address this.,” he shared on Facebook.
