The Buganda Road Court has extended the remand of Kampala socialite and businessman Nduhukire Nasser, commonly known as Don Nasser, to Luzira Prison until November 25, 2024. 

According to Senior State Attorney Lydia Nakato, the prosecution has completed its investigation into Nasser's defilement case. A brief adjournment was granted to allow the finalization of committal papers, after which the case will move to the High Court’s International Crimes Division for trial.

Nasser, detained since September 23, 2024, is jointly charged with 19-year-old Atete Promise.

He faces charges of aggravated trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor, while Atete is charged with procuring defilement. 

According to the indictment, Atete allegedly facilitated the unlawful sexual engagement of a girl under 18 with Nasser on May 3, 2024, at Acacia Avenue. Nasser is further accused of holding a 16-year-old girl captive at his Kira residence from May 23 to May 27, 2024.

While Nasser remains in remand, Atete Promise was granted bail by the High Court’s International Crimes Division. She paid UGX 3 million in cash bail, surrendered her passport to the court, and must report monthly.
