Edward Ssebuufu, also known as Eddie Mutwe, a chief bodyguard to Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine, has reportedly been subjected to torture during his detention. The East African nation's justice minister confirmed signs of torture after Mutwe was held captive in the basement of President Yoweri Museveni's son. Mutwe was remanded to Masaka Main Prison earlier this week and appeared in court on May 5, 2025. Opposition leaders including Bobi Wine, Joel Ssenyonyi, and David Rubongoya, along with family members, were granted access to visit him at the prison. Bobi Wine has publicly stated that Mutwe endured severe torture during more than a week in military detention prior to his court appearance.
