Barbie Itungo Kyagulanyi, the wife of National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has also flown to America.
Barbie on Monday night flew out of the country from Entebbe International Airport using Qatar Airways.
It is believed that her journey comes moments before planned city riots.
Barbie joins her children who flew out of Uganda ahead of the January 14 presidential election.
Pictures of Barbie seen by this website show her at Entebbe Airport at about 11 pm Monday night.
Barbie wore a cap that nearly covered her face to avoid being recognized by other travelers.
Security warning
On Monday, Deputy IGP Gen Paul Lokech revealed that police and other security agencies had received intelligence information about planned city riots where some individuals and political groups are promoting panic and fear among the general public, using malicious video footages and audios, to purposely intimidate and prevent them from going about their normal businesses or reporting for work the 3rd to the 7th February 2021.
According to Gen Lokech, the audios and videos talk about people staying in their homes, stocking food and threatening all persons who will defy their alleged stay at home orders.
“The authors who are allegedly aligned to some opposition groups indicate how the protests will transition into a mass uprising including the use of external forces to attack government… We want to inform the public that we are taking these threats seriously and would like to assure them, that they should not be intimidated from going about their lawful businesses, because their security and safety is guaranteed,” he said.
In a tweet, Gen David Muhoozi, the Chief of Defence Forces echoed Gen Lokech’s message.
“These messages going around, threatening Ugandans are contemptible. Ignore them. We will defend you. Go about your business. Your safety is guaranteed,” Gen Muhoozi said in the tweet.
