In Kampala—
Former presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye has said that the government planned to arrest him for the killing of Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine in the aftermath of the August 2018 Arua by-election which ended in chaos.
The four times presidential candidate made the claim during a press conference at Katonga Road on Thursday.
He said that opposition leaders had got wind of a government plot to kill political opponents and pin the killings on the opposition.
Besigye claimed that the shooting of Bobi Wines driver Yasin Kawuma in Arua was actually an attempted assassination on the Kyadondo East legislator.
He added that the killing of Kawuma was part of a government plot to convince the public that members of the opposition were at loggerheads and taken to killing those they fear threaten their own popularity.
Besigye said the government plot is a reaction to President Yoweri Museveni realizing that his government had lost popular mandate after the 2016 general elections which he claimed belief that he was the rightful winner and his party the FDC has evidence to back this up.
However, the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces have dismissed the claims as baseless, saying that the the former presidential candidate was not being realistic.
The deputy army spokesman Lt Col Deo Akiiki said that He (Besigye) of all people should know that it has never been the system of the UPDF to assassinate political opponents,
This, he should know, is not the approach of the UPDF and government for that matter. If this was our approach, can you imagine the kind of situation we would be having in the country?
The Special Forces Command (SFC) which was partly involved in the Arua fracas also dismissed Besigyes claims.
The SFC Spokesman Capt. Jimmy Omara said if Besigye indeed had sources from the armed forces that gave him such information, he should name them.

Tottenham face a battle to qualify for the knockout stages after suffering their second defeat of Group B.
Philippe Coutinho had Barcelona ahead after just 92 seconds. Ivan Rakitic hammered home a stunning volley to give Spurs a mountain to climb.
However, the hosts refused to give up and hit back through Harry Kane. Although Messi restored Barcelona’s two-goal lead, a deflected strike by Erik Lamela made it 3-2 and set up a nervy finish.
Spurs showed real character to make a fight of it, particularly with key players such as Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Mousa Dembele and Jan Vertonghen missing through injury.

However, they simply could not handle Messi, who fittingly secured all three points with Barcelona’s fourth goal in the 90th minute.
Barcelona are joined at the top of Group B by Inter Milan, with the two teams set to meet on October 24 at the Camp Nou.
PSV took the lead through a fine goal by Pablo Rosario. The 21-year-old fired a shot into the top corner that gave goalkeeper Samir Handanovic no chance.
Nainggolan equalised before the break, as he found the back of the net after goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet has parried Kwadwo Asamoah’s effort.
Icardi grabbed the winner after Zoet collided with his defender Daniel Schwaab, allowing the Argentinian to slot into an empty net.
Liverpool slipped to a deserved defeat at the Stadio San Paolo. The Reds also lost midfielder Naby Keita to injury. He was stretchered off after 19 minutes.
Napoli had the better of the game and forced goalkeeper Alisson into saves from Fabian Ruiz and Arkadiusz Milik.

Dries Mertens hit the crossbar for Napoli before Lorenzo Insigne slid in to convert Jose Callejon’s cross in the 90th minute.
PSG picked up their first points of the group stages in some style at the Parc des Princes. Neymar scored a hat-trick, and Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani were also on target in an emphatic win.
The opening goal came from a Neymar free-kick, and he added his second of the night three minutes later from close range after swapping passes with Mbappe.
Cavani’s deflected strike and Di Maria’s flick ensured PSG were 4-0 up at half-time and in complete control.
PSG continued to attack after the break, and Red Star Belgrade were indebted to goalkeeper Milan Borjan for keeping the score down with a succession of good saves.
Mbappe did manage to beat him, as he finished off a flowing team move involving Neymar and Juan Bernat.
Marko Marin gave the visitors something to cheer when he drove home a consolation goal on 74 minutes.
However, it was Neymar who had the final say. The Brazilian sealed his hat-trick with another free-kick that flew past Borjan.
