Noisy Blogger Lumbuye Arrest
Just as many seem anxious to locate the whereabouts of the chatterbox, Turkey-based Ugandan blogger Fred Kajubi Lumbuye, Uganda Police has denied having knowledge of his detention.
While addressing a presser at the Police headquarters in Naguru on Monday, the mouthpiece Fred Enanga said they are yet to see and cage Lumbuye once he is handed over to them.
Enanga could neither verify nor deny whether the noisy blogger has landed in Uganda despite reports he touched ground on Saturday via the Turkish airlines.
He explains “Until Lumbuye is handed over to police, we shall then come up with a statement on the status of investigations. Whether in the country or not, our interest is that we shall process him over these case files awaiting him. We are to wait until he is handed over to us and process the cases.
Enanga however says Lumbuye faces up to 15 charges including inciting violence and cybercrime once he is handed over to police.
He says “We want to tell the public that as police, we have 15 case files against Lumbuye under investigation for spreading harmful propaganda, sharing videos asking the public to protest, inciting chaos among the public, and other cyber-crimes.

Section 25 of the Computer Misuse Act section 25 stipulates that any person who communicates in a manner that ridicules or offends a person without any justification commits an offense.
There have been lingering reports in the National Unity Platform-NUP corridors that the noisy blogger is being bulletproofed by the NUP that is still plotting to secure his asylum in the Netherlands.
