Bobi Wine is the figurehead of a new generation who grew up under Museveni but want to see change and his anti-government songs have helped win him a big following.

KAMPALA, Uganda - Ugandan police arrested pop star turned MP Bobi Wine on Monday, barely two days after lifting the house arrest of a potential challenger to veteran President Yoweri Museveni, and placed him in custody over a protest he organised last year, his lawyer said.

"Bobi Wine and four others including his brother and his bodyguard have been remanded to prison until May 2," Basalirwa told AFP. Wine and other activists had held a demonstration in Kampala against a two-shilling fee for cellular phone users to pay for access to social media links. Police spokesman Fred Enanga confirmed the arrest, which was immediately denounced by the opposition.
