  • “With the struggle, some will stay standing while others will lose their lives in the process.” These are some of the words that Bobi Wine usually posts on his social media as he continues fighting for what he believes is a good cause.

Michael Kalinda aka Ziggy Wyne, a People Power member and a good friend to the Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine was attacked by unknown people who left him fighting for his life with one eye allegedly plucked out.

According to Bobi Wine, Ziggy was kidnapped a couple of weeks ago by unknown people who beat him beyond recognition.

“My close friend and fellow artist (Ziggy Wine) was kidnapped a couple of weeks back, beaten beyond recognition, his left eye plucked out, two of his fingers cut off, all his belongings taken and dumped in Mulago Hospital and left for dead,” he narrated on his social media platforms.

According to sources who saw results from a CT scan at Mulago Hospital, Ziggy was bleeding in the brain.

The Kyadondo East Member of Parliament also added that Ziggy is in such a bad state that he nearly lost all his senses and is now surviving on God’s mercy.

“This is one of the very many saddening stories across the country sanctioned by the very people whose duty is to protect us.” He also called on the public to keep him in their prayers.

Kampala Metropolitan spokesperson Patrick Onyango said Ziggy Wine’s relatives were still fearing to report a case at police but the police will follow up after a report is made.
