Police in Nwoya District have arrested two young men accused of defacing campaign posters belonging to the NRM Presidential candidate, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, and replacing them with those of NUP Presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine.
The suspects, identified as Ojok Stephen (21) and Ocom Innocent (19), were apprehended on October 9, 2025, at around 12:30 a.m. in Anaka Town Council while allegedly engaging in the act.
According to SP Magombe Reagan, the District Police Commander (DPC) of Nwoya, the arrests followed intelligence gathered during a meeting with members of local “Aguu” or ghetto groups who had recently benefited from plea bargain programs and served community sentences.
During the meeting, some members revealed that their peers were still involved in illegal activities, including defacing NRM posters.
Police acted swiftly on the information and mounted an operation that led to the arrest of the two suspects. Defaced posters were recovered as exhibits.
The suspects are currently detained at Nwoya Central Police Station and will face charges of defacement of notices and posters.
SP Magombe said investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the acts and to identify other individuals who might be involved.
He further appealed to the public to cooperate with security agencies by reporting any similar incidents or suspicious activity in their communities.
