A Kampala city socialite Bad Black aka Shanita Namuyimbwa has been arrested in Rwanda, the Police there have confirmed.
A Kampala court recently issued a warrant of arrest for Bad Black after jumping bail.
Bad Black was arrested at Kigali International airport, according to the director, Interpol Uganda, Hassan Kasingye.
“We shall send a request to our Rwandan counterparts to have her (Black) extradited to face the ongoing cases before court and jumping bail as well,” Kasingye said.
KCCA Magistrate, Juliet Hatanga, issued the warrant in March this year after she failed to appear in court on two occasions without any explanation from people who stood surety for her.
Bad Black is facing charges of a traffic offence at KCCA Court in Kampala.
The Court of Appeal granted the elusive socialite bail to travel abroad to remove her breast implants last year after she told court that her breasts were swollen and the implants inside needed to be removed.
The claims were confirmed by a doctor who was summoned by the court saying she needed urgent medical treatment.
Prosecution alleged that on December 4, 2011, Black at Casablanca Pub & Restaurant along Acacia Avenue, while driving a Mercedes Benz UAM 833Z, carelessly and without reasonable consideration for other road users, knocked a motorcycle UDN 916E and damaged it.
Further, prosecution alleges that in the process of knocking the motorcycle, three people; Ismail Nsamba, the rider of the motorcycle, his wife Fatuma Namusoke and their six months old baby Jamila Namulindwa were seriously injured.
