The Territorial Police in Kampala Metropolitan East and Nagalama Division on Thursday, November 13, 2025, arraigned Wamala Hakim, a 41-year-old male adult, resident of Kalagi Village, Kyampisi Subcounty in Mukono District, before the Nakifuma Chief Magistrate’s Court on charges of Incitement to Violence and Misuse of Social Media.
The charges stem from a TikTok video the suspect allegedly recorded and shared on November 9, 2025, through his account hakiqualitypropertyandconstruction, in which he is seen uttering statements intended to incite members of the public to engage in acts of violence using dangerous weapons such as pangas and spears.
He was also charged with Misuse of Social Media for allegedly spreading false and malicious information claiming that Presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, was in danger, an act that was likely to incite fear and provoke unlawful actions among members of the public.
The accused appeared before the Nakifuma Chief Magistrate’s Court where he was formally charged. He was remanded pending further mention of his case.
The Uganda Police Force reminds the public that misuse of social media platforms to spread falsehoods or incite violence is a criminal offence under Ugandan law.
The police will continue to monitor online activities and take firm action against individuals who misuse digital spaces to threaten public peace and safety, said ASP Luke Oweyesigyire, deputy public relation officer for Kampala metropolitan police.
