The Police in Luwero District has arrested a one Jamilu Ssekyondwa aged 25 for allegedly circulating false news about President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

Ssekyondwa is said to be a supporter of the National Unity Platform (NUP) party and was arrested from Kamira Sub County in Luweero district after a security track down on his WhatsApp and SMS messages.

Ssekyondwa’s arrest comes hours after President Museveni’s directive to security to crackdown on those using social media to spread fake news.
