KAMPALA - Yoweri Museveni's son and Ugandan Defence Chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba has threatened to behead Bobi Wine.
The opposition leader has now gone into hiding after escaping house arrest.
The pop star's family is still being held.
It comes as he calls election results that returned Museveni to power, fake.
The 81-year-old leader will now serve his 7th term, extending his almost 40-year rule.
Speaking to eNCA on Monday, Inge Herbert of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation said the Secretary General of the NUP David Lewis had confirmed that Wine was safe.

“He's hiding. He wouldn't say where he's hiding. We think he's still in the country. It's a very concerning situation.”
Herbert said in the lead up to the elections, Wine had received numerous threats on his life.
“General Mohoozi, who is the son of Museveni has even threatened to behead, to cut off the head of Bobby Wine when he gets him in his hands. There's been threats all the time along. And of course, there's been a lot of abductions of militants of NUP and other opposition parties.”
