Court jails Senior Six student who announced Museveni death

The 20-year-old Edison Ssemugenyi sent falsified text messages to various individuals announcing the alleged death of President Museveni and further claimed that Gen. Muhoozi was involved in a same-sex relationship.

On Tuesday, December 9, Chief Magistrate Esther Nyadoi convicted and sentenced Ssemugenyi after he pleaded guilty to two counts of malicious information. He was battling the charges under Section 28 of the Computer Misuse Act. (Credit: Edward Luyimbaazi)
