In a series of posts on X, Gen Kainerugabai, who is also Uganda's military chief, said Mr Sebuufu was "in my basement", attaching the bodyguard's photo with a clean-shaven head. He recently sparked anger with a tweet in which he threatened to behead opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine. Late on Thursday, he sparked another social media storm after he published a photo of Mr Sebuufu, Bobi Wine's bodyguard, appearing half-naked and clean shaved. He said Mr Sebuufu was "looking very smart these days" after his beard was shaved by "my boy", referring to his junior soldiers. Following Gen Kainerugaba's X posts, Bobi Wine said soldiers had "raided and cordoned off" the headquarters of his National Unity Platform party (NUP).
