The Buganda Kingdom has released a statement concerning the recent arrest of Ibrahim Musana, a 27-year-old social TikToker as known as "Pressure Pressure." Musana was apprehended on Saturday on charges including defamation, promoting hate speech, and incitement to violence. He is currently in police custody for allegedly abusing Kabaka, the king of the Kingdom of Buganda, and other kingdom officials in his videos.
The Kingdom strongly warns individuals using social media to insult and defame it, especially targeting the Kabaka, Katikkiro, and other leaders. The Minister of Information and Communications, Hon. Israel Kazibwe Kitooke, emphasised the Kingdom's direct involvement in Musana's arrest during a news conference held at the Mengo Royal Palace.
Minister Hon. Israel Kazibwe Kitooke, addressing reporters, cautioned those opposing the kingdom that they will face consequences, as the Kingdom will not remain silent, particularly against those who violate the throne.
