Franklin Emoubor, a Nigerian national and the estranged lover of local musician Desire Luzinda has been arrested.

Speaking at the Uganda Media Centre on Tuesday, Rev. Fr. Simon Lokodo, the State minister for Ethics and Integrity said he was arretsted by Interpol. He, however did not disclose where he was arrested from.

"We are going to subject him to the Ugandan courts of law and charge him since Uganda is where he initially committed the crime," Lokodo said.

Luzinda's lover Emuobor released a series of Luzinda’s node pictures late last year. The pictures went viral on social media, drawing thousands of comments about the artist and her estranged boyfriend.

Information on social media also indicated that Emuobor masqueraded as a Ugandan and used the name Franklin Baguma to acquire a Ugandan passport NO B1012076.

The matter was taken up by the Police Special Investigation Unit.
