He has in the past been the subject of brutal arrest by the Ugandan police, harassment and torture. The most infamous incident was when the police broke the windows of his vehicle and flashed him out using pepper spray. The opposition leader also has several cases pending in court.

It remains to be seen if the modification to the car, registration number UAN 661V, will serve the purpose.
