๐ธWhat law and order are you maintaining at a private law office? Does the practice of law require police guard? Did you have a warrant? May you kindly shed further light on the legal basis of this deployment?

๐ธThe grotesque assault on renowned constitutional expert @ProfMadhuku is a dark stain on our limping democracy and a flagrant violation of many sections of the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. It is also proof that they have failed to win hearts and minds over the planned desecration of the supreme law.
It is not a crime to represent clients in a constitutional case. It is not a crime to express oneโs self on draft legislation that is before Parliament. It is not a crime to aspire towards a democratic Zimbabwe where the will of the people is supreme.
It is barbaric to fight ideas and an unassailable legal argument with violence.
The attack on Prof Madhuku must be properly investigated and the culprits must be brought to book. Any patriotic Zimbabwean must condemn it unreservedly. This is not how you engage in public discourse.
You promised โone man, one voteโ and are now delivering one man, multiple beatings? Is this what the war of liberation was fought for?

Good morning 5am club. Listen while others are talking. Study while others are partying. Lead while others are following. Persist while others are quitting. Think while others are daydreaming. Save while others are spending. Build your life.๐บ
STATEMENT
Last night was very difficult at our home in Magere. The military and police raided us. They switched off power and cut off some of our CCTV cameras. There were helicopters hovering over.
I want to confirm that I managed to escape from them. Currently, I am not at home, although my wife and other family members remain under house arrest. I know that these criminals are looking for me everywhere, and I am trying my best to keep safe. I understand that there has been great concern and speculation regarding my whereabouts. Please understand this is the context of a nationwide internet shutdown. Given the commotion that happened at our house at night, and given that no one is allowed to access the house, our neighbours concluded that they had succeeded in abducting us and spread the news.
I reiterate our COMPLETE REJECTION of the fake results Byabakama is reading. In addition to the ballot stuffing, the military take-over of the election, the detention of our leaders and polling officials, and other electoral offences, their results have zero backing!
We condemn the murder of numerous citizens who have thus far attempted to peacefully demonstrate against the broad daylight thuggery. The people of Uganda have the right to protest in defence of their sovereign right to determine a government of their choice - not the kind of criminality we're witnessing.
Aside from the blatant theft of the presidential election, these criminals have employed various fraudulent techniques to usurp the will of the people in numerous constituencies across the country. NUP candidates are being targeted - even when they have 100% evidence that they won. This is absolute madness.
The PEOPLE OF UGANDA WILL ULTIMATELY WIN.
Note: Some of these pictures were taken last night and others today morning.

๐ธWe are citizens. We have the constitutional right to express ourselves freely and to condemn corruption, violence and bad governance wherever these are found. We are not your puppets nor do we exist to champion agendas that have nothing to do with the best interests of the people. You have no right to dictate what we say or when.
Hamutiudzire kuti taurai uyo asi musabate uyo. Hatisi zvituta zvenyu. We are hungry for change and a new Zimbabwe that works for everyone.
While you are fighting for your political lives, we are fighting for our political beliefs.
