KAMPALA: Tiktoker Arrested for Rallying Ugandans to Arm Themselves in Defence of NUP’s Bobi Wine.

A 41 year old Tiktoker has been arrested for inciting Ugandans to arm themselves with pangas, spears and axes in retaliation for what he says is about to happen to National Unity Platform, (NUP) President, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu.

According to the Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson, ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Wamala Hakim, a resident of Kalagi Village, Kyampisi Sub County in Mukono District was arrested on Thursday, 13th November, 2025 and arraigned before 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 9th November 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 and remanded pending further mention of his case.

“We wish to remind members of the public that the misuse of social media platforms to spread falsehoods or incite violence is a criminal offence under Ugandan law,” says Owoyesigyire.

He cautions that the Uganda Police Force continues to monitor online activities and will take firm action against individuals who misuse digital spaces to threaten public peace and safety.
