A fire has destroyed much of the home of Muzeyi Magala, popularly known online for sharing Buganda’s history and cultural stories, in Bunyaaka, Luweero District.
The blaze broke out in the early hours of Sunday morning, leaving much of the house in ashes and the roof collapsed. Fortunately, no injuries or loss of life have been reported, with everyone believed to have escaped unharmed.
The incident comes as Magala remains in police custody, where he has reportedly spent four days. Speculation about possible arson has emerged on social media, but the cause of the fire has not been established.
Magala is a familiar face on YouTube podcasts, where he shares stories about Buganda’s history, cultural heritage and his personal experiences.
He previously attracted attention after revealing that he had constructed his own grave ahead of his death and made arrangements for how he wants his final send-off conducted.
Further details about the cause of the fire and the full extent of the damage are yet to emerge as investigations continue.
