The deputy mayor of Entebbe municipality, Richard Ssekyondo and four others have been charged with staging an illegal assembly over the detention of Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
Ssekyondo and his co-accused appeared before Entebbe Chief Magistrate's court on Friday afternoon. The other suspects are Solomon Kigongo, Prossy Nakacwa, Sam Kasirye and Musa Matovu.
The accused were arrested for threatening to stage mass protests should court fail to release Bobi Wine, who was locked up early this week in connection to last year's anti-social media tax.
