According to the charge sheet, 41 suspect allegedly recorded and shared on 9th November 2025 through his Tik Tok account @hakiqualitypropertyandconstruction, uttering statements intended to incite members of the public to engage in acts of violence using dangerous weapons such as pangas and spears.
Wamala was charged with Misuse of Social Media for allegedly spreading false and malicious information claiming that Presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, was in danger, an act that was likely to incite fear and provoke unlawful actions among members of the public.
