Bobi Wine strongly condemned the "abduction" of Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, saying the pair had been "picked up mafia-style" at a petrol station and driven off to an unknown destination.

Ugandan police spokesman Kituma Rusoke told the BBC the two were not in their custody. Kenya's Michael Muchiri said he was not aware of the matter.

Bobi Wine, a pop star whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, is running for the presidency in next year's elections, challenging President Yoweri Museveni, 80, who has held power since 1986.

Bobi Wine said the two Kenyans were being targeted by the Ugandan government for associating with him.
