Godfrey Osotsi has sent a strong message to his party and to the country. The Vihiga senator said ODM is under attack from hidden forces. 

He claimed some leaders are trying to weaken the party from inside. Osotsi spoke during a public meeting in Western Kenya.

He said people linked to UDA are using money and power to lure ODM members. He called the move a dangerous virus.

He stated that the attackers were masked, heavily armed, and acted with apparent coordination, leaving no doubt in his mind that the operation was planned and deliberate. 

According to him, no arrest warrants were presented, and no reason was given for the invasion.

Bobi Wine described the incident as a terrifying ordeal that left his family injured and deeply traumatized. He said the soldiers moved through the house aggressively, issuing threats and instilling fear. 

He added that the attack appeared intended to intimidate him and send a warning to those associated with him.

The opposition leader directly blamed state security agencies, arguing that the raid fits a long-standing pattern of harassment and violence against critics of President Yoweri Museveni’s government. 

He noted that his supporters, party officials, and relatives have repeatedly faced arrests, assaults, and intimidation over the years, especially during politically sensitive periods.

Following his statement, the allegations sparked widespread anger among opposition supporters, civil society groups, and human rights defenders. 

Many questioned why armed soldiers would target a private residence and attack unarmed civilians. 

Social media platforms were flooded with calls for accountability, justice, and an independent investigation into the incident.

Human rights activists warned that such actions, if left unchecked, undermine the rule of law and basic constitutional freedoms. 

They argued that attacks on family members cross a dangerous line and demonstrate a growing culture of impunity within security agencies. 

Several groups urged Parliament and oversight bodies to intervene and demand clear answers from the government.

As of publication, Ugandan security authorities had not released an official statement addressing Bobi Wine’s claims. 

In previous cases involving opposition figures, security agencies have often denied wrongdoing or defended their actions as lawful operations. 

Critics, however, say these responses rarely address allegations of excessive force or civilian abuse.

Bobi Wine said the incident should alarm all Ugandans, warning that no citizen is safe if armed men can invade homes at night without accountability. 

He stressed that the struggle is not only about politics but about protecting families, homes, and fundamental rights. He added that fear must not be allowed to replace justice.

Despite the attack, Bobi Wine reaffirmed his commitment to continue advocating for democratic reforms and respect for human rights. He said intimidation would not silence him or weaken the demand for change. 

As political tensions remain high in Uganda, the alleged raid has added urgency to calls for transparency, accountability, and an end to violence against civilians.
