The arrest came after Opposition leaders including City Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago paid him a visit at his home following his return from the US where he had been for about two weeks.

Shortly before Besigye’s arrest, a scuffle ensued between him and police officers who had blocked the road that leads to his home.
