In a recent development, Ibrahim Musana, popularly known as Pressure 24/7 in the online world, has been ordered to remain in Luzira Prison until April 29th as investigations concerning allegations of hate speech unfold.
The accusations against Musana involve purported derogatory remarks aimed at the Kabaka of Buganda and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The decision to extend Musana's remand was reached during a court session held today, following a plea from the prosecution for additional time to thoroughly probe the case.
Musana's apprehension stems from a video circulated on his TikTok handle, where he allegedly made inflammatory comments directed at the Kabaka of Buganda and President Museveni.
The content of the video sparked widespread outrage, prompting swift intervention from law enforcement authorities.
This legal saga has ignited a firestorm on various social media platforms, with supporters and detractors voicing their perspectives on Musana's actions and the potential ramifications of his words.
While some have rallied behind Musana's right to freedom of expression, others have condemned his statements as inflammatory and potentially disruptive to societal harmony.
