STATE minister for Ethics and Integrity Simon Lokodo has directed police to question local artist Desire Luzinda for her nude pictures said to be taken by her Nigerian boyfriend that have gone viral on social media.
“Police is on track to get hold of Luzinda and her boyfriend. I have directed the Police to get her,” the minister told New Vision in a phone interview on Tuesday morning.
The minister explained that Luzinda and her boyfriend will be charged with exhibition of pornographic material contrary to section 13 of the Anti- Pornography Act.
