Security Agencies have apprehended Musana Ivan a 20-year-old male following the circulation of a video on social media in which he is seen wearing a military jacket and making inciting statements.
Preliminary investigations have established that Musana is not a member of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces.
Findings further indicate that the suspect falsely presented himself as a UPDF officer while recording the video, which was later uploaded to TikTok. He was tracked down and arrested in Bukedea District and is currently detained at Kawempe Police Station as investigations continue.
The case file will be forwarded to the Office of the Resident State Attorney for legal review and advice.
As the country approaches the General Elections scheduled for 15th January 2026, the Police remind the public to use social media responsibly. Content that may constitute threats, hate speech, or impersonation of security personnel is punishable under the law and may result in prosecution.
