Kampala, Uganda – Security agencies have arrested 20-year-old Musana Ivan for allegedly impersonating a Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) officer and making inciting statements on social media.
The arrest follows the circulation of a video on TikTok, where Musana is seen wearing a military jacket and making provocative remarks.
Preliminary investigations confirm that Musana is not a UPDF member, and he falsely presented himself as an officer in the video.
He was tracked down and arrested in Bukedea District and is currently detained at Kawempe Police Station.
“The case file will be forwarded to the Office of the Resident State Attorney for legal review and advice,” said SP Rachel Kawala, Police Spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Police.
The police have reminded the public to use social media responsibly, warning that content constituting threats, hate speech, or impersonation of security personnel is punishable under the law and may result in prosecution.
The arrest comes ahead of the General Elections scheduled for January 15, 2026.
