The Police in Naggalama Division have charged a TikToker, Hakim Wamala (41) with incitement to violence and misuse of social media.
According to the Kampala Metropolitan deputy Police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, said that Wamala, a resident of Kalagi village in Kyampisi sub-county, Mukono district, was on Thursday presented before the Nakifuma Magistrate Court and charged with incitement to violence and misuse of social media.
His charges stem from a Tik Tok video which he allegedly recorded and shared on 9th November 2025 through his account @hakiqualitypropertyandconstruction, in which he is seen uttering statements intended to incite members of the public to engage in acts of violence using dangerous weapons such as pangas and spears.
He was also charged with misuse of social media for allegedly spreading false and malicious information claiming that presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamyu, alias Bobi Wine, was in danger, an act that was likely to incite fear and provoke unlawful actions among members of the public.
The accused appeared before the Nakifuma Chief Magistrate’s Court where he was formally charged and remanded pending further mention of his case.
Owoyesigyire cautioned that misuse of social media platforms to spread falsehoods or incite violence is a criminal offence under Uganda’s laws.
