Bobi Wine’s Bodyguard Eddie Mutwe Charged
The opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu’s civilian bodyguard, Edward Sebuufu aka Eddy Mutwe, has been charged with two counts of robbery and aggravated robbery and remanded to prison despite his poor health condition resulted from days of torture in military detention.
Mutwe, who according to NUP President, was violently abducted by soldiers in Mukono district on April 27, has been under military detention since then.
Today, Monday, May 5, 2025, he was brought to Masaka High Court by security forces. He was limping and was supported by two individuals to walk.
Journalists were barred from capturing the proceedings.
As a result, journalists did not attend the court session, but Mutwe’s lawyer, Magellan Kazibwe, who himself was initially restricted from accessing court premises but later allowed to enter, revealed to reporters what transpired in Court.
“By the time we entered court, we found Mutwe being arraigned before His Worship, Abudallah Kaiza – Grade One Magistrate, who read the charges against him,” Kazibwe told reporters after the court session.
“Those are the same charges which were preferred against Achleo Kivumbi, Wakabi, and Gaddafi (other civilian bodyguards of the NUP President). The same charges of simple robbery and aggravated robbery, which allegedly occurred at Manja village in Lwengo district,” he added.
A few days after Mutwe was arrested, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugab, posted a picture of him (Eddy Mutwe) with his beard shaved.
Today, Kazibwe said that his client has been badly tortured.
“Mr Edward Sebuufu has been over tortured for all the days he has been in illegal detention. He was tortured every day. He has told me and my colleague that he was tortured every day five times. And they were beating him using wires of electricity. They were electrocuting him; they were squeezing him, including his private parts. He is in great pain,” Kazibwe told reporters.
“He has not received any medication, he has not accessed any doctor up to now, and he was not being allowed even to communicate with his relatives. They confiscated his mobile phones and all the money. He has not been eating, and he is in a very bad and appalling state,” Kazibwe added.
Renowned televangelist Pastor Benny Hinn received a rapturous welcome in Uganda as tens of thousands flocked to witness what many have described as a spiritual awakening.
The founder of the World Healing Center Church is currently on a healing crusade in Kampala, hosted by Pastor Robert Kayanja of the Miracle Centre Cathedral.
Day one of the crusade saw an estimated crowd of over 200,000 people gathered in anticipation of divine miracles. In a message shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Hinn expressed joy and awe at the massive turnout and the spiritual energy of the night.
“Precious people, something extraordinary is happening in Uganda. Over 200,000 souls gathered on Night 1 of our Healing Crusade in Uganda! 60,000 lined up at 8AM for a 7PM service. 10,000 pastors stood in unity. And already, 14 nations are represented,” Hinn wrote.
The preacher went on to claim that the power of God was so strong that numerous people experienced supernatural healings. Among the alleged miracles were the disappearance of throat cancer, the restoration of blind vision, and relief from chronic pain.
“The Power of God came down like a mighty river. Throat cancer disappeared. Blind eyes were healed. Chronic pain vanished. This is the move we’ve prayed for… and it’s only just begun,” he added.
The roads leading to the crusade venue were choked with heavy traffic and large crowds on foot, many bringing along loved ones battling various illnesses. The atmosphere was charged with hope, emotion, and spiritual fervor as worshippers sang, prayed, and waited for what they believed could be their miracle moment.
One particularly emotional moment occurred when Pastor Jessica Kayanja, wife to the host pastor, reportedly fell under the “power of the Holy Spirit” after being prayed for by Hinn, prompting cheers and spiritual outpourings from the audience.
However, the crusade has not been without its critics. Some Ugandans online questioned the authenticity of the healing claims, suggesting that such miracles, if genuine, should be demonstrated in medical settings like Mulago Hospital, where countless patients suffer without such divine intervention.
Despite the doubts, the event marks one of the largest religious gatherings Uganda has seen in recent years, and many faithful remain hopeful that this crusade will continue to bring spiritual and physical transformation to those in need.
