A 35-year-old TikTok blogger was charged at Buganda Road Chief Magistrate's Court with sending false distress signals under the Uganda Communications Act, over videos in which, according to the prosecution, he claimed to have stolen Shs7 billion from ONC head Hadijah Namyalo. He pleaded not guilty and applied for bail, but the magistrate remanded him and adjourned to 17 August after the state asked for time to verify his sureties, the Daily Monitor reports.
