Bobi Wine’s Body Guard Eddy Mutwe Charged with Treason

Bobi Wine’s body guard, Eddy Sebuufu alias Eddie Mutwe has been arraigned before Gulu Magistrate’s court and charged with treason after two consecutive orders from the High Court.

Eddy Sebuufu alias Eddie Mutwe appeared before grade one magistrate Mr Yunus Ndiwalana who formally read the charges to him before remanding him to Gulu Central Prison.

He has been charged along with Musa Ssenyange 31, a driver and machine operator that was allegedly used to block President Museveni’s convoy in Arua Municipality last month. They have been in custody at Gulu Central Police Station since Saturday.

Eddie Mutwe is the 35 suspects to join the charge sheet which already includes his boss Bobi Wine and 4 other Mps.

The presiding magistrate adjourned the case to October 1 when the two will appear with the other accused people.

On Monday, High court ordered Detective Senior Commissioner of Police Elly Womanya or any other Police Officer in whose custody Eddie Mutwe is being illegally detained, to release him unconditionally and immediately.

Justice Ssekaana made the order following the submission of the applicant’s Lawyer Eron Kiiza, informing court that since September 4 when the Attorney General’s representative Peter Tusuubira informed court that they were charging Bobi Wine’s Body Guard with Treason before Gulu Magistrate court; up to today this has not been done.
